  But seriously, your type is a bit horsey (unrefined). I won't get into the fact that you're using Futura, but you're sending mixed messages. I can tell you tracked it out to make it look modern and legible, but it still looks dated. You also kind of defeated the purpose of this practice by adding so much tension to the design, especially with how tight your leading is and the total lack of breathing room anywhere.

  I can't say your colors are wrong, per say, but the way you used them in overlapping circles invokes blending and merging and not photography. Why the overlapping circles in the first place?

  Why do you use the slash, / , when you've already split your contact info onto two lines? Yeah, I know those can look cool, but that's usually in the hands of better type-setters working with a ton more copy at much smaller sizes.

  Not to be mean, but this reeks of 1st year design student. I'm sure you have it in you to come up with something more appropriate. Carry on.
