So... this is what I am looking.Yay? Nay? It doesn't have any examples of my work on it, but is that really important when it comes to your business card?

I suppose you could always put a picture on the back... I'm not sure how that would look.

First question: will you have a different card for other type of photography?

Second answer: I think you should put a sample photo on the reverse side.

Yeah, I have been trying to design other cards for my seniors.

While I tend to think that a photo should be included on all marketing collateral for photographers, I've seen many examples of highly successful photographers where that isn't the case. Your sample card looks classy and professional, and as long as it gets potential clients to your website, that is all that really matters.

I like it!

the white space in the middle bothers me.

could you possibly put the "perspectives" text and line centered on the flower? then maybe put the contact info below?

I don't think that this says who you are or what you do. Consider a card that might have a senior and/or a wedding photo on it. This is a time to strut your stuff.

I agree with Kassey, the trapped white space is not a good. Maybe you could move the "Perspectives"/"wedding photography" up to close out that space. Then you would have more room to make the flower much bigger--I would even be okay with it bleeding off the edges on the L and R sides. My only other concern is that I am not a fan of centered text. I would play with the kerning to get a hard margin line on one side or the other. It wouldn't take much since you are almost lined up now.
I like the simplicity of it. I also like the repetition of color in the phone number/rule/flower's center.

I know your gone, but thanks Daniel for my new design! I have been so busy with my day job that I haven't had time to sit down and mess with this card stuff myself.

Thanks for everyone that gave some input too... I hate asking for comments, and then not being able to follow up on them. Its my first audit season and it is kicking my butt as far as having time for anything else.
