1. What's that eagle have to do with Greek Mythology?
2. Text is hard to read, go with a combination of 2 fonts, maybe some gradient/stroke/etc..
3. Colors are ok, but it needs more effects. Try Bubbles of Effect C4D. Fractals might work too. A "net" wireframe might do the trick aswell.
4. Adjust the lighting on the bird by burn/dodge or simply by brushing over it.

The text is too small and unreadable, the eagle has nothing to do with the SOTW theme and the background is too monotone and nothing interesting. Also, I can see the outlines of the eagle, try blending it in...

well
@Splinter Cell
@artemon
the eagle IS greek mythology, if u go kinda deep into it Zeus had a pet eagle ...
i can't remember the name but thank you guys for the tip ... as soon as i get my laptop back from my mom i will fix those last minute ... maybe even get a new BG for it that fits better, i'll display at least 4 different versions before i enter.
