Explications: - I decided to to a dark banner....only to break the soft colour of renderosity original banner. I think it make some change....and see something different. - The image i put represent lighting....wich is the most important thing in photography. We "photographer" have always to play with lighting to have good photos. - I designed the banner similar to the other one "text and scan lines" to keep an uniformity. Well...Dont know if you will like it. Would be nice to hear comments. Thanks you all. Have a nice day.

very, very nice! i like the imagry...hands around the light of a candle. i think it's wonderful!!!! the only suggestion i have would be on the first one. I would like to see the font type (not the white, but rather that gray outline with black fill-in) to stand out a little more...like in the 2nd image. Also in the first one, the logo in the lower left doesn't look nearly as visible as in the 2nd one. It's just a minor thing. Overall, I love the entire composition! TV

Thanks you very much all for your nice comments. I'm Glad you like it. :] @tvernuccio- I "would like to see the font type (not the white, but rather that gray outline with black fill-in) to stand out a little more...like in the 2nd image. : Im not sure of what you want with this LOL!!! sorry...it's because in not realy good in english and this part is a little harder for me to understand. -Benoit-

hi benoit. i'm sorry i can't explain it so good. English is my language but sometimes you'd never know it! LOL! I'm having some problems expressing myself. sorry. let me try again. the second one looks perfect. i just see a slight difference in the brightness of the font in the first image. The solid white font looks the same in both. But the logo and the other font doesn't look as bright in the first image as it does in the second. I'm sorry i can't explain it better. Maybe someone else here knows what I'm trying to say and can explain it better. Maybe no one else notices. maybe it's just my eyes or monitor or something. sometimes i don't see so good. I think it's a fantastic banner though!!!! You did great! TV

The candle-image is just perfect for the season(s) to come...

giving warmth to the season! i do like it too... (tv, i've been looking & looking, not sure i see it either, could be the play in the size, dunno)

Yeah...didnt see it too...after looking and looking. The banner proportion are not the same. I created the banner (the bigger one) and to do the little...i just cropped the top and the bottom a bit. :]
