Not bad from coming back from a break as big as that on top of being new at this. I actually like the text for this one, but it should all be closer together. The pattern on the edges can go, and some pictures faded in the background wouldn't hurt. I like the lighting on this. Add a drop shadow to to the pic at 0 distance, and use the actual pic in the background feathered around the edges faded behind him. Again, not bad for a comeback, good work.
