Very nice! Did you try justifying (right and left) the lower block of text. It would form a rectangle which, I think, would complement the other rectangular shapes that are already present.
I love how you utilized the side of the page for your title. Very eye-catching. I can't really tell what the translucent image under the text is (at least not in this little jpeg), but I like that it's there. Adds lots of depth and some mystery. And the gradient browns work well with the design.
