I don't like the color scheme. I assume that the top part is actually an "enter" page. It's been said before and I'll say it again...people don't want to see an enter page when they go to a website, they already entered the URL to visit your site or clicked the link. They obviously want to be there one way or another.

It's very busy for a portfolio site. Yeah, you want to impress the person with your graphic skills, but when you're telling someone your graphic talents in text form, they don't want to be distracted by loads of shines, shapes, advertisements, etc. The text itself seems small as well, and the entire page has some sort of a "dirty texture" which doesn't fare well with the rest of it. It's got a mixed fancy/futuristic and grunge theme...it just doesn't go together well.

A nice little color scheme generator. Remember not to use too many colors (especially when they contrast so much...such as black/white/green/blue), keep it easy on the eyes.
