Just a few I remember seeing on Talkfreelance.

It's not even that, though. I find the color scheme more boring because of the way it is implemented. Also, the trendwhored effects I'm referring to are the wavy gradients in the banner. Sorry if I sounded mean, though. I think you have potential when it comes to designing; I just don't like this piece of yours.
