Ok the cut finger with stitches is too much gore and directly scare off allot of visitors who can't stand at looking at it.
This was my first stab at my thoughts on it. Kind of freaked me out
Also, I know this is purely a personal preference but I don't care for Flash-based portfolios, mostly due to compatibility & load-up issues. If this doesn't bother your progress, ignore it by all means.

Put a bandaid on that finger.
The finger comment is cool. I have heard that from a lot of people, but i have also heard praise from some who know about comps, building, and exacto blade cuts. So i still dont know what to do with it, but for now it looks like most people are not the biggest fans of that first image. Thanks for the feedback thus far, keep it rollin'

Concerning the finger: let me guess, the people who thought the cut finger was cool were other designers that could relate, yes? Are the clients you wish to gain with this portfolio also designers? If yes, then by all means, keep it--it is clever! If not, then you might want to reconsider.

I do agree that it is something different but definitely not attractive (I am one of those people that cannot stand looking at it - whether designer or not - and would just hit the X button on my browser if I had come upon your site by chance).
Also, I am sure there are other ways emphasize the hard work and dedication; after all this is a designer's website, not a medical one.
You have some very nice works btw
