Also, try using the original yellow-orange colour for the top navigation bar, and use the "vivid" photos you used at first (= skip the blue toned version) because I think it could add a needed contrast as you go for the faded/pastel blue background colour. And if I understood John correct, I would also fade the graphic on the left side so it doesn't go under/behind the logo - at the moment it gives a bit messy impression, you kind of cut the logo in halves (white to the left and dark photo the right). This is of course my personal view and rules of thumb.
