this is just a very rough version. The header image will be randomized. News will be in bottom left and thumbs will be in bottom right(Galleries:etc.. are going to be links)

Well, not much to really comment on because it is so simple, but i think thats probably the look your going for... I would maybe think about changing the text to something more "modern" and then just spicing up the layout... giving it some more character then just simple black and white lines / boxes...

But if simple is what your going for then that layout works out great for you :D Nice work...

well, I'm going for a simple, yet classy style so I think it fits. Plus I want the suits(usually unskilled at computers) to be able to easily navigate through it and such.

Simple and nice.

However, when I first looked at it, I thought it said "mature" instead of "nature". At 1290/1024.

The white background is disturbing the look. Try to change the background to black. Would be more dignified.
Also: add some spacing to the word Galleries. Although it might be solved by changing the background to black.
Success - hope to see your galleries soon!

random header image, iframes coded. I should have the galleries up by friday.
Thanks for the comments!

It looks pretty good, but it seems to load kindof slow for me... but that just might be my crappy 56K connection :p

I like some of the random headers... nice pics :D

it is simple to browse through, though I have a little bit of critique.

The only thing on there is the random header.
The random header is too big, now I have to scroll down for your content, since you are designing for unskilled computer users I would try to make the layout fit on 800 x 600 resolutions.
The fonts you used are a bit boring.

So I like your idea, it just has to be worked out more/better.

Quick question why you using some many images???? that could be done in html entirely hehe would save load time.. only image you should have is the image swap

thanks for the suggestions everyone.
