Pretty nice!
Probably use a font with less contrast, maybe blockier, like Charter? And tweak the spacing: "RT", "TY", "RA" and "HY" too loose, "OG" too tight.

I found that the background is overpowering the title. Took everyones advice. I darkened the background. And used a block serif font

I still think the background images overpower the type. I bet you could strip out a few layers and still have a nice piece.

I think the purpose might be better served by
focusing on the typography rather than the
imagery. Tone down the background some.

The metal 'A' is a nice touch.
