I realize the contrast could be better between the type and photo, but I didn't want the type to feel too distinct from the background either. This is a shot in-browser of web type, so I could thicken the text-shadow to improve contrast.
The sub text is very hard to read. Some shadow might help, but the majority of users can't see text-shadow, so perhaps a subtle RGBa value might do better justice, e.g. something like rgba(0,0,0,.2), and then use something like CSS3pie for IE (I think it doesn't support text-shadow yet).

What do you think of the legibility?
