I love the simplicity of your forum, it looks very clean. I see why you used red as the flowers in your header picture are also red but I agree with Shelley in that it's a little too red for my taste as well. A lot red is too bright for my eyes. With that beautiful picture on the top, I would love to see your forum follow this. My eyes go from seeing a beautiful picture to seeing all the stark overbearing red, especially the statusicons. I think your forum would look really nice if you followed the nature, sort of natural feeling of your header picture. Perhaps a garden theme? Also, remember that most people ordering photography are woman, mothers, brides ect... maybe a more feminine feel as well?
That's just my silly take.
