i ment what i said, the first line i wrote was a question about cleaning the text and i can see no other text than the text in the right, upper corner
for the second line i wrote i was answering your question "what's going on in the bottom left corner??"

Sorry.....gettin tired I guess, normally I'm right on top of things, ^^,

Ok, well I see what you mean with the rendering, but the bottom-left corner, the space there? It's kind of distracting, if you want your character to take the full attention of the eye, or at least mostly, you need to fill the space.
And the text isn't distracting, it's just....oh, I can't think of the word...not bad, but it kind of takes away from the overall effect......Understand?

I tried something new and here is the result

For both of them: Text is distracting, no blending, flow is off BADLY, too much effects, no lighting, zero depth and focal is not clearly displayed. I take it that you're new right? Well you might want to try a simple white VERDANA font instead of a random fancy font and put the font close to your focal.A good focal here would be Saber's eyes so put them somewhere close (NOT ON) by Saber's eyes. Also try not to have text floating in a corner it just makes it look like you discarded it like thrash. For lighting, make a new layer, take a 300 pixel white soft brush and just press ONCE where you think the lighting is coming from then gaussian and motion blur it to your liking. And for depth use the sharpen, blur, dodge and burn tools. They add great contrast and bring out the best of a render. When you're all done make a Black and White Gradient Map and set it to either MULTIPLY 30% - 55% or LUMINOUS 100%. I hope that was helpful.
