Looks like he got caught in a snowstorm man, try to get rid of the brushing above the pic it distorts it too much, and also make the yellow text easier to read.
I agree, I don't like the brushing. I do like the fact that it is different from anything else, but I don't like it too much.
I like the brush you used but I would have blened it more so it would be covering him like that. Good sig man.
