Heh!, I looked at the signature before seeing the words and thought the technique looked familiar. Then I looked at the words and say that it was my tutorial that you used lol. The text isn't that bad but you shouldn't worry too much about text because a lot of people tend to struggle with it.
A little plain for my liking and the bars and text are killing me. There was this great tutorial on the placement of text in relation to the focal point however I don't remember were it was, I'll look for it.

There are certain points were it intersects, circled in red, that are good spots for text(Also has to do with render placement). Or something of that liking *Looks around frantically for Vision Ex's help on this one*
The text is bad,and it's far away from focal,that means more distraction to the actual tag,the border is extremely bad,the colors are monotone,too much negative space,i don't really like the centered focal tags,so i suggest you make it next time on sides a bit,here take a look and read this guide about the rule of thirds(composition) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds
