    Pay attention to readability. The background on the home page is too strong to be able to read the "home" and "about" links on top, and the business name at the bottom right is almost not readable either.

    I like the look of your gallery however, rough and rustic without harming readability.

    You might want to put a transparent gray overlay layer and place your links over that so you can read them with more ease. Right now their just floating there. Either that or place your navigation links vertically on the left hand side of the poster.

    And you might need something to frame your slideshow a little better cause it looks flat. Maybe consider a dropshadow for the images that matches the color of the bg underneath just to make it pop out more.
