I was starting to get sleepy, so I decided to make me a nice new set with my free time. I used a combination of brushes and C4D to make this background. To enhance it, I added mosiac tiling, scanlines, and angled strokes, and blended them together, and that's where the bg of the banner stands now.
Text is simple. The only quirk I have with it, is that it stands out a bit too much, the white really isn't present at all in the signature, and it clashes IMO. I'm planning on going back and editing that.
I thought I cut the stock pretty clean...let me know if there's anything wrong with it, I smudged the gunfire out a little so it looked more "explosive", and so there wasn't any containment parameters on it.
Comment and Critiques please.

There is no blending or flow with Lara and the background. The colors are working but now how they're currently set up. Also this is a very over-used style.
On with your text.. You've got very bad placement in this peice... it whores attention from the main focal point ( Lara ) which is not a good thing. You shoud try positioning it under her arm or something to make it keep the attention on her.
I think it overall looks great. You stuck with one theme through out the banner. The only bad thing is the text. It's just...there. Blend it in, or whatever, but it really ruins the whole thing.

The gunfire is horrible you can actually see where it cuts off.
The text is terrible, the background is actually rather random it's not brushed around the stock, there is no blending. Sure not all tags have to have a blended stock but it usually benefits from it.
i dont really think the background suits this. The colours go well and it looks good with the lighting on her face, but I think you've gone the wrong way with the background. It's basically the big heavy sharpened lines that are zooming along it.
The border (I think...) doesnt go around it completely... Not sure if you're starting something new there but even a nice simple one would help to aid this.
Cutting her out wasnt the greatest og jobs, especially (as Gouka mentioned) on the gun shot, perhaps try blending that in via Wand>Select Inverse>Feather> Delete Well thats just what I would do.
The style or colour or size of the typo is BAD. Bad placement as there's a big open space to the left, it doesnt have to be crammed up with her! It's also hard to read and need some blending, baby.
