Sorry for it being so late. A lot of time went into these battles and Matt and myself had some issues outside of the net which had to be dealt with. Believe me, we know how late these are. No comments about it being late please.

Overall Overview: Your signature was great. Fantastic colours and textures. Only thing I noticed was that it was a bit empty, but that’s just my opinion. This is one of those sigs which you stop to look at. Your larger image was just fantastic, great work.

Overall Overview: The shapes used in your signature were fantastic and the asymmetrical break added something to it, it gave it that little bit more interest. I almost missed the border on the light background but when I saw Josh’s high mark it caused me to reconsider and take a closer look. Your larger piece was great but I felt it was slightly too minimalistic and empty. The way the text just seamlessly became a part of the image was fantastic. Well done.

Overall Overview: I loved your sig. The colors were soft and very pleasing. The effect was very different, but very you. Your larger image was good too, but I felt it was lacking something. It seemed to have too much white space and overall was too bright. I would have darkened up the pices a little bit and added a white border instead of the black one to help keep your balanced contrast.

Maybe use a different stock photo though. Your larger image left something to be desired though. the colors weren't that great and it just doesn't leave the impression you want an image to leave.

Overall Overview: I didn’t really like the signature to be honest. It was just like a few stocks had been thrown together for no purpose. I’m not too sure about the relevance of the text to this image, is that splatter supposed to be blood? On your larger image I felt the texture wasn’t varied enough, it was all very samey but the stock work was pretty good. I wasn’t sure about the typography up in the corner and what it actually added to the piece apart from a space filler.

Overall Overview: I felt that your sig was on the dark side and that there wasn't enough going on. I did really like your text and border though, very different from the norm. I really liked your large piece as well. Very nice work here, though it reminded me a lot of Edds stuff. The bg could have been less uniform and something could have been going on towards the bottom.

Overall Overview: The signature was way too cramped. It was all squeezed into this tiny box. Give yourself space, don’t let size hinder you. The text was too small to read and it lacked colour. I loved your large piece, so original and visually pleasing. Great concept here that was wonderfully executed. If you had provided a better signature I’m sure you would have been well up there in the winning slot.

Overall Overview: The main problem with your sig was its size. Way too small. I felt that there wasn't much to it and that the text was very hard to read. I absolutely loved your larger piece. The surrealness of it all is great. Composition great. Image selection, great. Only thing I can suggest is to brighten up the window and the door and make it stand out more than it does right now.

Overall Overview: The only let down here was the fact you used a cut out of your larger image for the signature, otherwise it’s fine. I thought the texturing was fantastic but was off a bit at the top of the render(great work on the render by the way). The text on your signature wasn’t really up to scratch I’m afraid but the text on your larger image was perfect.

Overall Overview: I really disliked your sig. Way too dark. I couldn't make anything out in it and the text was damn near impossible to read. The larger image, on the other hand, was awesome. I loved the effects and the overall feel of it. The text was great here too. Only thing I disliked a great deal was the amount of black in the lower left hand corner, try reducing the contrast here.

Overall Overview: Fairly mediocre images on both parts here. The signature was fairly dull and didn’t give me anything. But it wasn’t bad either, it just sits there, not demanding attention but it’s not an eyesore. The same goes to your larger image. It was fairly faded and although I like the concept I didn’t think it was executed too well. Typography was good though.

Overall Overview: I found your sig really bland and lacking good contrast. I didn't like the grid overlay and the text was blended too much. Your larger image was quite impressive. Very original and unlike anything I've seen before. The distortedness of everything and the way everything flowed was good. The overlays were great and I loved the oriental text. Some areas could have been faded entirely away, like the bottom edge of the clock and I felt that some more color could have been used.

Overall Overview: The signature colour was rather plain and there was hardly any contrast or brushing. The render was blended in well. The text here I felt was quite mediocre. Your larger piece was pretty good for a photo manip. I did notice that the perspective was slightly off but that’s what you get when you use stock images that aren’t in your total control. Some of the colours were quite faded but I liked the uniform green throughout. I would of liked to see some text in the larger piece, it would of boosted your mark a bit.

Overall Overview: You're large image was rather good. I like the effects, even if they are overused. I felt that the area in the front needed some blending work and there was some odd shadows, but other than that, it was good. Your sig was a little on the dark side and could have used osme more color, but the overall effects were very eye pleasing and gave off a nice effect.

Overall Overview: Your signature really let you down, I didn’t enjoy it at all. It was quite colourful but a little bit tacky at the same time, the textures weren’t too good. It was slightly over contrasted. Your large image was a great all water scene but it’s nothing that special in my eyes but you had a fantastic atmosphere there.

Overall Overview: I felt that your sig was really lacking. It was too dark in spots and the contrast was very bad. I didn't like the stock and the text didn't seem to fit in at all. Your larger image was very good. The Terragen work was great, though the contrast in the clouds was a little much. The text is what ruined it for me.

Overall Overview: I didn’t really like the signature to be honest. It was just like a few stocks had been thrown together for no purpose. I’m not too sure about the relevance of the text to this image, is that splatter supposed to be blood? On your larger image I felt the texture wasn’t varied enough, it was all very samey but the stock work was pretty good. I wasn’t sure about the typography up in the corner and what it actually added to the piece apart from a space filler.

Overall Overview: I felt that your sig was on the dark side and that there wasn't enough going on. I did really like your text and border though, very different from the norm. I really liked your large piece as well. Very nice work here, though it reminded me a lot of Edds stuff. The bg could have been less uniform and something could have been going on towards the bottom.

Overall Overview: The signature was way too cramped. It was all squeezed into this tiny box. Give yourself space, don’t let size hinder you. The text was too small to read and it lacked colour. I loved your large piece, so original and visually pleasing. Great concept here that was wonderfully executed. If you had provided a better signature I’m sure you would have been well up there in the winning slot.

Overall Overview: The main problem with your sig was its size. Way too small. I felt that there wasn't much to it and that the text was very hard to read. I absolutely loved your larger piece. The surrealness of it all is great. Composition great. Image selection, great. Only thing I can suggest is to brighten up the window and the door and make it stand out more than it does right now.

Overall Overview: The only let down here was the fact you used a cut out of your larger image for the signature, otherwise it’s fine. I thought the texturing was fantastic but was off a bit at the top of the render(great work on the render by the way). The text on your signature wasn’t really up to scratch I’m afraid but the text on your larger image was perfect.

Overall Overview: I really disliked your sig. Way too dark. I couldn't make anything out in it and the text was damn near impossible to read. The larger image, on the other hand, was awesome. I loved the effects and the overall feel of it. The text was great here too. Only thing I disliked a great deal was the amount of black in the lower left hand corner, try reducing the contrast here.

Overall Overview: Fairly mediocre images on both parts here. The signature was fairly dull and didn’t give me anything. But it wasn’t bad either, it just sits there, not demanding attention but it’s not an eyesore. The same goes to your larger image. It was fairly faded and although I like the concept I didn’t think it was executed too well. Typography was good though.

Overall Overview: I found your sig really bland and lacking good contrast. I didn't like the grid overlay and the text was blended too much. Your larger image was quite impressive. Very original and unlike anything I've seen before. The distortedness of everything and the way everything flowed was good. The overlays were great and I loved the oriental text. Some areas could have been faded entirely away, like the bottom edge of the clock and I felt that some more color could have been used.

Overall Overview: The signature colour was rather plain and there was hardly any contrast or brushing. The render was blended in well. The text here I felt was quite mediocre. Your larger piece was pretty good for a photo manip. I did notice that the perspective was slightly off but that’s what you get when you use stock images that aren’t in your total control. Some of the colours were quite faded but I liked the uniform green throughout. I would of liked to see some text in the larger piece, it would of boosted your mark a bit.

Overall Overview: You're large image was rather good. I like the effects, even if they are overused. I felt that the area in the front needed some blending work and there was some odd shadows, but other than that, it was good. Your sig was a little on the dark side and could have used osme more color, but the overall effects were very eye pleasing and gave off a nice effect.

Overall Overview: Your signature really let you down, I didn’t enjoy it at all. It was quite colourful but a little bit tacky at the same time, the textures weren’t too good. It was slightly over contrasted. Your large image was a great all water scene but it’s nothing that special in my eyes but you had a fantastic atmosphere there.

Overall Overview: I felt that your sig was really lacking. It was too dark in spots and the contrast was very bad. I didn't like the stock and the text didn't seem to fit in at all. Your larger image was very good. The Terragen work was great, though the contrast in the clouds was a little much. The text is what ruined it for me.
