Hmm, I like it. The text could be better and the yellow tone is perhaps a tad overdone. The use of light textures is top notch and they have been placed very well. Also, I don't know if you've done this but instead of brigtening up the render with extra work on it (which I think you have done- correct me if I'm wrong), place light textures around the render to accentuate the importance of the player. It does the job much better.
Also, Shantanu, well done, you gave a terrific start.
