In the end, it just finding the right balance. The image that I used is not final yet. For the design compositions I used a stock photo that was far more impressive but unfortunately the guys I am doing the site for do not have such a great collection of wow photos I could use. So, it's basically the best choice for now. I personally am not that happy with that image. I do not think it's not good enough. Thank you for your comments.
