Here is a Jpg of the layout for my upcoming site. I just want some feedback from people, even if its a "Looks good". Any bit of negative or positive feedback would be great. The site is just going to be a portfolio type website for me.

The photos on the left, the second one down - it seems abnormally bright/color blown out than the other three...maybe it needs to be the first pic or maybe choose a different pic? Just draws the eye first and doesn't seem to go with the others.

I like the second one. the design is looking nice compare to first one. If you add more dynamic content then it looks amazing.
