I can say at once that the mini (that should be the focus in the picture) is blended into the sig. Try to make it come more forward the screen, make it scream "HERE I AM, LOOK AT ME!!!"

If you used gradient maps to get the color you have, then try to deselect the mini from the map, so it maintains its original color.

Apart from that, I like the sig
