Thank you everyone. There were some great designs done over the past 10 days. I really appreciate the effort of all of you and I wish you luck in your continued efforts. The design we chose, we believe, best meets the aesthetic we are looking for.

Thanks for trying horizontals, but they do not work as presented.

Color Of Earth Logo has been transferred. Link to AI is www.mattpalmaphoto.com/coe_logo.ai
Please respect the copyright of the logo.

Note that the transfer for the color of earth logo has occurred and it can be used now legally for the design.

html would be better for SEO reasons. I may elect to make the pictures flash embedded in the html.

I do apologize for not having provided as much feedback as I have also had limited daytime access this week due to where I was and the domain being blocked for some reason. It's tough to assess web designs on an iPhone.

Sorry all - was away from this contest due to short time and being away but back. Let's try designs that have the links horizontal (across the page).

I believe it is probably more challenging to make a simple splash page more interesting as I think the full up web page designs we were getting was more interesting. All- I declared a winner from color of earth logo contest and still need to get the transfer of copyright, but then we can use that in this design as well. Please - simple - but elegant & sophisticated - no cheesy cameras or rings or designs that say "look at me" They need to support the concept and peak interest in the viewer to click onto the pages. This is the first thing my potential web clients will see. The impression is classy - sophisticated - clean.
