I find that the double stripes on the sides are distracting from the images you posted. Speed, functionality, and simplicity are three things to keep in mind when building a website. Personally, I don't like the feathered edges on the two pictures. I like to see a sharp outline on portofolio images, but that's just my opinion.

Are you coding this yourself? Or using an online platform to display your images? The URL said Photobucket, is that what you're using?

just photoshoped it up to be printed on a 8.5x11 for a binder to turn in at the local studios to get my name out there

Oops, my bad :(. In that case, don't forget to title the images. Maybe use a slightly smaller font size, like 10 instead 12. Sometimes using a sans serif font is best for print. But again, font all comes down to personal preference.

I don't know what the norm is when presenting this kind of thing. But I personally would just have a collection of final images, rather than doing the before and after thing. If the result is strong, and obviously not crazily overboard with the photoshopping, I don't see why people would be interested in what format the files are or the shot properties/processing steps.

Otherwise it looks good.

I would crop out the empty space on the left, move the text middle right and crop off the bottom... that way the focus is on the bike and the words. Just MPP :)
