New Banner

Okay, which one do you guys like better? I can't decide. The top one is a restored Fair Ground Organ I saw at the Stampede this year. It played some crazy circus music and the figures moved and it was both disturbing and alluring at the same time. I had to take the pic with my camera phone, since S refused to go near it (he has an aversion to "creepy dolls" lol)
The second one is a statue at Devonian Garden in downtown Calgary, taken shortly after I got my beloved digital SLR. I dunno. I can't decide. What do you think?

I prefer the organ one, but in my opinion it should be rectangular, like most other banners. It DOES give off a creepy vibe, but also in some weird kinda way it also gives me a sense of nostalgia... something that might tie down to your 'snapshots of my life' title.

Hmm, how about the new banner? I agree about it being rectangular, but since it's a camera phone pic it's not big enough to fill the whole box. Does it look okay?

its definitely getting there, but you are right about not filling in the box... now it looks like its floating. maybe if you can make it fade out to black on the left and right, or resize it in photoshop to fit the banner better. I really enjoyed your last one alot... loved the overly-swirly green leaves. It was very Tim Burtonesque!! I am sure that whatever you end up with will be just as great!

I'm not using photoshop, that's the whole problem! I'm using Microsoft Digital Image Pro 9, which I don't know at all! I'll play around more with it tomorrow... maybe just start from scratch with a different pic. Thanks for the input!
