I like it.
Insects are awsome, have to say that I am also a big fan of beaver :)

Dunno, is it just me or is the main menu on the left vanishing? Maybe try again when I get home ...

Im gonna be honest with you - Your photos are stunning, but I don't like the background, or the menu so much. Too many lines, and chunky stuff going on at the top - I would go for something more "mellow" to complement your awesome photography.

Thanks...honest is good, I quess :roll: No really...I like when people speak their mind :D

Well...the present look on my homepage is a result of few days work trying to make it look nice and balanced with both larger and smaller screen resolutions.

The background image...There ´s something about lines coming and going, fading in and out. Don ´t know what it is but I like it ! The top of the screen on the other hand...now that you said it I think you are right. There ´s too much stuff and it ´s too "heavy". It was meant to frame the page somehow but it maybe that I failed ! Have to take a closer look into it...

The menu...I ´ve been thinking of making the menu bacground just plain, without those horizontal lines that separate menu items (button frames). Maybe that would calm down the appereance.

Thanks for input...I really appreciate it 8)

PS: Or maybe it ´s just the infamous Finnish/Nordic design that just doesn ´t work for the rest of the world :lol:
