Ok, here are some comments from a web designer

I hope you take it in a constructive way

The image itself is composed in a good way, and the more I look at the edges, the more I like them

The text, however, can be improved upon greatly. First of all, it is not symmetrical in its placement - the right text is much closer to the right edge than the left text is to the left edge. You should move the left text closer to the left edge, if you intend to keep that text placement.
The text itself - the font is ok, doesn't need any changes there, really. The effects, although, are not very good. It makes the text very hard to read, and it does not look like the text fit into the image. As Vauktu said, a border or something similar would make the text much more visible. However, be careful with overdoing it - to much of a border and the text will look like it does not belong into the banner at all.

I have currently got Photoshop CS4 and a lot of free time If you want, I would give you some images to show you a little what I mean regarding the text
