This was rejected so I got recommendation to post it here.
You can see & download layout HERE.

Personally I think quality of this is somewhere in the middle, meaning that I'm not quite statisfied with it but also not quite disappointed.
I generally don't make tiny layouts and absolutely hate layouts centered on the right, because I'm aware it's visually wrong (not where the people's vision focus is when looking at the monitor) but I wanted to make something different.

Right-aligned make your eyes work harder, and you want your viewers to have as pleasant an experience with your layout as possible. It's not necessary to use a centered or left aligned format, but it's recommended.

The image of the girl, again, is what really gets me. If you're not sure about the quality of your images, post in here to see what we think or make sure to use a stock photo site that is known for high quality images. Her face, which should be the clearest part of the image, is the most smudged and blurry of the entire layout. In fact, it looks like you used some sort of texture over her face - not a good idea.

Other than that, it looks really good. The only other thing I would add is that your links don't quite match with the rest of your layout, but it's more of an opinion. I'd use a serif font and get rid of the background/border colors.
