New Tenten layout?

I’ve been trying to make a new layout for my Tenten fanlisting, Leopard Print, but I’m not sure I like how it’s turning out. Here are two versions of what I’ve got so far:
Which one should I go with? The pink/grey version looks surprisingly good, despite the fact that I don’t think it matches Tenten’s personality so well. I should probably actually find some pictures of him wearing leopard print, considering the name of the fanlisting, but I really love this shoot ^^;I wonder if I’m losing my touch… I really adore the current layout on Leopard Print, and I feel like this one that I’m working on doesn’t quite match up to the same standard. I find myself running out of ideas about what to do next. I usually like to use a lot of Color Burn and Color Dodge, but I’ve somehow constructed a layout where they don’t quite seem to fit. I do like the black rectangles running along the bottom of the layout, though xD

I added a bit of a header. I wanted to include another image instead of just having the bar, but I can’t seem to find any good scans of this photoshoot >.< I managed to clean up that one lying down image decently well with a few blending mode tricks, and the other two were taken from his blog– it’s kind of sad when webcam/phone pictures are better quality than magazine scans; people need to realize that low quality grainy scans are basically useless.
I’m not sure how I feel about the diagonal lines on the content section– I feel like it needs SOMETHING to keep it from being too bland, though. I’ll keep playing with it.

I’ve finished the layout and coded it. You can see it here. I changed the header a bit because it looked too even before, though the diagonal lines on the content area were the best thing I could come up with, so I decided to keep them. I also added some burn layers to the top and bottom left corners because I just couldn’t resist.
