If you're going to have that much text, you need strong colors to offset it and keep it visually pleasing even though it's busy. The duller colors in number 1 are easier on the eye, but it's so busy that almost nothing gets taken. That second one tho!!
Yeah, if anything you want him to stand out more than the text? Like, make him the center focal point and the text is his background. It describes him, afterall, but without him it's nothing, you know?
