Hmm I would suggest adjusting the border space to 230 so I can still read text and the border. Also I don't see why there is the white space.. But apart from that this is very nice, your picture you used is very beautiful. and I like the idea of the leaves down the page.

It is a beautiful picture you have used
I do like the idea of the leaves falling down the side to. The colours are well matched and although the main body is font friendly the border is to wide to take full advantage of it The pictures need to be a fair bit smaller for margins and when uploading you need to set the font over to the right more so it doesn't invade the image The full width needs making to at least 1200 to reach right across the screen. These are all simple things to put right You have a keen eye for colour and design and with practice they will look superb

Hey there Rosethorn I love the colors of autumn, always have, so earthy. lol I guess they are all mostly earthy though when you think about it. Best wishes

Hi there!
Your border is too wide, and your custom border width is much too narrow, which effects the legibility of the type. Your background is too narrow.
(should be 1280 wide to reach the right edge of most screens). All of these things are pretty easy to fix.
Your background color is very compatible to your border and line of leaves. Refreshing! Your font color choices are not great: the green is gaudy, the red has poor visibility.
1. design/composition 15.0
2. originality(of concept) 15.0
3. color(compatibility) 16.5 More care needed when choosing font colors.
4. execution 14.0
(effects/clarity/resolution/seamless)
5. legibility 14.0
(readability/sufficient contrast between type and background.)
TOTAL 74.5

Hi there
Thank you for coming out for the first B & B Contest ~
My first impression, is......what am I supposed to focus on?
The fonts are hidden in your work....maybe try to seperate your Bord & Back a tad more.......not sure what number your Bord is, but I think it must be huge
The white on the right gives me a feeling of, *unfinished*
Have you used two Bords here?
If not, stretch your Back.....way out!
Keep trying.....we are pleased you came out for the first B & B Contest
God bless you,
Bear ~

This seems to be a bit short on width, and long on left side border, the font is difficult to read because you have not spaced it far enough to the right. I would rebuild this I think with a left border of only 200 pixels and make the total BG width 1280 pixels...Scott
