NEVER lower the opacity on your main render, as Benjamin Franklin famously said.
They both just seem really plain, man. The main render needs to command more attention and the background is just kind of a gradient.
Try making just the main render 100% opacity (or at least above 85), try something else with the text but maybe keep the font, and add a subtle little touch the background because it probably doesn't need too much going on back there.
EDIT - Just remembered you said you made this a year ago or something so I'll cut you a break, but the critique still stands.
