first- sigs have to be 300x60 or less.

Try adding some colour to some of it. This can be an interesting effect. I think that image might look good half green, and half grayscale. Do you have a colour copy?

hey invis, yea… i think some color would be good… green is probably the best since that looks like grass.

i would maybe try to incorporate text into the backround as opposed to on top of it… just my thoughts on this specific image

I think the origonal idea of using both grayscale and color was the best. When you have a crisp striking image in B/W just using a bright color accent (sparingly not all over) can create a great effect due to the contrast. I think it looks good already, but I think you should explore the idea offered.

Also I really think your typo needs some work - I dont feel it adds but takes away from the image… JMHO

Either way - it is nice.

Peace
