What one has to consider when rating a signature is whether the piece itself functions cohesively as whatever it states itself to be; thus, a signature must work on two fronts to be successful, those being stating a goal that cooperates with the signature format and then fulfilling that goal as is most desired.

Seen here, your goal with a single prominent, unhyperlinked banner is to have your signature fulfil a purely aesthetic role, and a secondary target given is to have the signature display fully your own style in a well-executed manner.
Given this is my own subjective assessment, this is to be taken as lightly as is needed, but I believe that the style captured is successful in being pulled off well. The contrast is light, the colours kept undarkened and yet the picture is still composed quite well. The hills along the bottom do dip slightly too much to form a cohesive bottom border against the sky, which loses the identity of the majority part of the image that takes the form of a band-shaded heavens (this shading style, while not something I have encountered much considering my realm of visual work rarely deals with the specifics of shading, is quite well done in improving the minimalistic aspect). The text stands out against it, and can be considered meaningful as well as appropriate.

Overall, giving numeric ratings to any piece viable as a candidate for art is already an act of trivialisation, but considering that I enjoy this piece this much against my own established tastes, I would award it a 9/10, and hope that the original photo unmanipulated is still available, as I am sure it is beautiful.

At a first look, the very elements in the signature seem intriguing and pretentious; It not only does succeed in catching my attention, but it's also rich, should I notice the amount of attention paid to details. The color palette and the aspect of the banner work together well, though it is possible to question the choices made in the formatting of the text, as the general layout doesn't seem to act on its favor. You used a fair amount of BBCode at your reach to evolve each element's properties, though in my view it has no definite point other than solidifying the feeling of pretentiousness.

Generally, it indeed transmits an effect of contemplation to the observer with its exuberant colors and style, and it abranges more complexity than your past works.

FF no malice intended but this is what the sentences end up meaning both times you use "pretentious":

"every part of this is pretending it's meaningful for no reason"

Alright, sorry. I thought pretentious could also have a positive meaning to it and I couldn't find another term.

mah turn

As I've mentioned before, it's a shame you ditched the Ruby/Sapphire dance signature for this relatively underwhelming pattern, but it's still really nice nonetheless. The background inside the spoilers works wonderfully.

I love the way it how it looks hand drawn and it give the impression ( to me at least ) that the person is a lord surveying his land. Plus it's original in every way

The sigbar isn't centred and the text is a little hard to read. Despite those flaws it's still nice to look at. 7/10

It's simple, contains only basic info in and it's practical, despite lacking any fancy layout. Both banners doesn't really stand out (mostly due to your decision of putting them all inside spoilers). I personally prefer MK's sig, but yours isn't bad either.
