Welcome aboard, nice image.  The red text looks a bit too bright, asthough
you've used ambient in the texture on it, I think it'd maybe look more 
photorealistic if you make the red text darker and take any ambient out 
on that texture of it. 

Also the image that you posted was way too bit, over 900K.  If you open the
image in a graphics editor/converter such as photoshop or IrefanView you can
save the image to a jpg and bring the size down considerably.  I've just 
done a test here and saved it to a jpeg file format at only 29K (same
resolution as your original).  I also saven another version with less 
compression to 109K and it is impossible to tell the difference between
the .bmp you posted and this .jpg.  

Please don't be discouraged by any of this, we all make these kinds of 
mistakes at first.    

Keep up the good work.
