Steve,

Not sure if you were looking for serious responses or not but will give ya my take for what it's worth...

It looks like something made by a guy who knows a few tricks in photoshop on his home computer. Which I'm guessing is what it is really... Perhaps it's just the compression, but the image and text combine for a really bad looking business card... Yellow on yellow doesn't work. Plus in color theory, yellow equates to 'cheap/bargin' products.

I see you using the seascape/sunset to go along with your 'Horizon Computer Tech' theme, but personally think some line art would be better suited to this purpose. The image you have there makes me think of shady travel agents card rather than marketing services or computer tech...

As this is a business card, again IMO, a gmail email addy doesn't instill much confidence. Having a website url, even if it's a basic onepager with contact info will go alot further in creating a positive image in prospective clients eyes.

All that said, putting your pic on your card is a good thing providing you follow it up with professional attitude. Folks get home and are flipping through cards after show, seeing your image can jog their memory who card belongs to... up to you what kind of memory is jogged...

Nice advice!
