I'll give you guys a start...
Kill Steen Kill; This is way too bright, to the point that it's almost hard to look at. And the scan lines going across it make it worse. Definitely don't go this bright for your other pieces. What I do like is the render you used to stand out from the background, that's good. Also, the text is a nice attempt, text is always difficult, just try not to use too much stroke because it sometimes ruins the text.
DK Almighty; I've seen this style before and personally, I just feel like it has ran its course, you should definitely try expanding your horizons to something other than C4D-filled graphics with repeated renders because you have potential. That being said, you've clearly mastered the style and I like the glows and the whole colour scheme, and keeping the text simple is always best on these graphics, because the detail is already in the background.
Overall; I personally believe this one is easily judged, simply due to the execution. My vote, DK Almighty gets the victory.
Like I said, you need to expand your horizons because the style you're using has been done to death, and has been since like 2004. You could use your talent more effectively with bigger graphics, with more resources. Kill Steen Kill, just keep working on your colouring and text work. But yes, to reiterate...
My vote; DK Almighty.

Kill Steen Kill The green is way overdone and kills the image. The text is fine though, the two side pics could be a little bit blurred though since they're still somewhat dominant.
DK Love the colour, I'm a sucker for that blue. Is that a Displace filter used on the right render? Text is great too.
My vote goes to DK.
