@Syed Balkhi - A couple of things. If you use a long width image of some sorts to be used as a buffer between the heading and featured area, I think you would be surprised at how much better the site looks.

Yeah, I'm with you on the left aligned design. I hope it goes full responsive to fill whatever space is on the screen. I wish I had access to the showcase on WP.com to show off a couple of sites using the theme but it's disappeared along with the theme.
