I love everything about this: clean, stark, textured, fits with the images, gradients and colours are well tied as well. Small design things bug me a bit though:
I presume the header and the footer will stretch to the edge of the window, and so I'm not a fan of the bevel. A bevel line to separate them from the body is fine, but the other 3 sides seem unnecessary.
The drop shadows (especially the 'bloggen' tab) doesn't fade comfortably. In photoshop, there's a Quality Contour on the drop shadow - have a play with that and you'll be able to get a crisper start and a smoother fade.
On the broader side (and this could easily be the language difference) I see a lot of different areas vying for attention and no clear winner. Might be nice to have one thing trump the hierarchy.
