Please critique my design

[DarkShadow]

Hey guys,

I haven't touched photoshop properly for quite a long time. I'm wanting to develop a personal site which will most likely turn into a portfolio site in the future. However for now, I just want to get my content on there.

The two photo's used are my own and this all I've come up with over 2 days. It's lacking something which I can't quite put my finger on.





I'd appreciate any input

Thanks

I reckon go for a darker grey background in the second to make the blue stand out more. They look good though.

Thanks for your input, looking better but still is missing something . .



I'm digging this design though:
