what do you think?

that bevel on the oval is just a bit too much still.. but its a great imrovment just light blur around the edges of it.

Well I think it looks pretty good, but i do have some comments/suggestions...

1. I agree with zyc... i dont really like the bevel on that oval thing, might wanna lower the amount or something..

2. I dont really like the really small text next to the triangle looking things on the top right corner of the layout, i dont really think its needed.

3. I think maybe there is to much drop shadow on the nav text, maybe make it a little closer and it would look alright

As for the parts that i do like... i like the colors somewhat, but i would make the 2 orange colors the same... overall i think its a good layout, nice work

is that any better i cant seem to do anything with the oval it looks the same whatever i do :(
