Please critique these business cards

Here is my first go at designing some business cards. How can they be improved? What do you like about them?

Front Card 1 (back will be blank for writing)

Whoah! The saturation is A LOT higher on these when I post them. When I open them up in CS2 or in Windows picture viewer the saturation is much better. What's causing this?

EDIT: updated photos with RGB versions.

I like card 2 more, but they're both great!

I like cards without photos. As far as the saturation, make sure CS2/Windows Picture are using "sRGB".

Ahhh, I created them in CMYK. Is that causing the issue? Is there a way I can save them so they will display online correctly?

CMYK is fine for the lab. You have to use Edit>Convert to Profile on CS2.

I think that if you are going to include photos on your card, you should make sure it represents what you want to do the most. If your goal is to sell your services shooting portraits/etc, then you should include photos of people, but if your goal is shooting landscape, that's what you should include.

for the front card 2 I would suggest you make your name bigger. Just so it stands out more and people will hopefully remember it better.

Clena and simple, but I'm not sure it would be real effective when printed that small. I'm also not a big fan of black cards, so I'm put off slightly by that.

Thanks for the comments so far. They will definitely help me improve them for the next go round.
