thanks to everyone who helped me with this first crit:
http://leftwave.com/indevelopmen…unfortunately my client thought these colors were a bit too harsh and wanted more rounded edges and a softer feel.
what do you think now?

first looks very unfinished but has some good aspects to it... second is overall faitrly nice. just roll with it.

i hate the oldschool pixelated looking background divider in the second one tho.

The main headline (over the pic) reads awkwardly in all caps to me.

2nd one is safer but still works.

The second is nice, my only comment is that maybe you'd like to give the nav buttons a little more breathing room between each other, or make then a solid bar, they seem awkwardly cramped to me.

My boss/creative director would go for the first one.
I'd disagree and choose the second one.
I would work with the horizontal divider though. Make it less pixely and even a little wider/taller/bigger.
I would also try to get a bird or part of a bird outside of the blue image and into the white area above (making your coding job harder, i know).
I don't know what color your main content text is, but it needs to be a dark grey or lighter brown, not black or really dark brown. It jumps out too much and takes away from the smoothness of the design.
I think the 'mastheadish' type over the image could use some work. Maybe some size adjustments. If it were mine I would increase both lines and make the top line condensed and taller.
- love all your ideas... especially the "bird flying out of the box" idea... thanks jonatne!leftwave

menus in totally the wrong place... but apart from that it looks fine!

Loose the top part of the background, a bit fussy!
