Yea the swift kills it IMO, even though I know what you're trying to do. Try to add something in that bar and change the font. Maybe put one of your crazy renders in the bg of the white part, and lower the opacity. Try easing up on the lighting too.
I like the V.1 better too. The Swift text isn`t that great and maybe you should add some more effect to the pic to make it look better. Not bad though, 8.5/10.
not feelin it Im sorry the font and pic ar both nice but something about the bg i just missing. I think it might be all the empty space you need more action or more pics or something you cant just leave all that space empty. For a good example of this look at Knicks Analysts bgs. He always has somethin goin on in the empty space whether it be a blend of pics or just an effect.
