I'm currently doing my personal site up, and putting it all together.

I think that the site graphics could do with that something else to complete the look.

The domain only points to a holding page at the moment, but I will change that when I have the site completed.

The photo albums will be replaced with a css based one (code used from .net magazine)

Yeah, the graphics could definitely use some work. The clouds in the sky photo is just a little boring. Try to find something more interesting. I like finding photos of ordinary things and blowing them up to an interesting angle. The logo text is too big and the font is not unique. Find a more unique font, make it smaller, and move it to one side.

The navigation could also use some work. Try working on your CSS for that, or do some graphics instead.

Good Luck!

Your color scheme is... very blue Smiling
I would suggest using another color, something brighter that would contrast with the blue and white. Maybe a light orange/yellow color, not in excess, but maybe just for the site title so that it contrasts with the blue background.
I'll try to think of more stuff
