The studio name should POP - it is getting lost. The phone number and details are the dominating text.

Like the idea - tweaking to colors and shadows will help.

I agree with Holly. On a business card YOU should stand out. I think the image may be a good one to use, but your information is totally lost. It is hard to read even when I try.
You have cut your logo in half by placing it directly on top of the strongest line of contrast in the image.
Want to know where, in the image, the strongest area of contrast is located? Try this.
Open the image in Photoshop, while holding down the Alt key, press the following 3 keys: i, e, then 1. This will turn the image upside down. When the image inverts see where you eye goes first. Most of the time, that will be at the area of greatest contrast in the image.

Nah, don't have to work too hard... like Holly said.. just the logo needs to stand out more.... just make the name across your fancy D WHITE... and make the D a little brighter, too.. and I think you are there... its a fantastic biz card shot!
