I believe strongly that a page should download fast and have a higher

that the look of the home page should be be eye catching and images
usually have major contribution to this factor.
In the end, it just finding the right balance.
The image that I used is not final yet. For the design compositions I
used a stock photo that was far more impressive but unfortunately the
guys I am doing the site for do not have such a great collection of
wow photos I could use. So, it's basically the best choice for now. I
personally am not that happy with that image. I do not think it's not
good enough.
Thank you for your comments.

I don't know what the conversation is, and I am not sure I really care
:-) . With regard to the subject line, it looks good to me, Elle. More a
problem with usability than anything else, I guess. It is breaking on
zoom too early, and the vertical nav might be better set horizontal
beneath the header image(?) so it can expand without overlapping the
image. Resetting to to 1em on 1.4 on the body; and, after doing so,
appropriately reducing the font -size for the side bar, and the
navigation (and reducing the leading of the block quote) will give your
page a more contemporary look, as will punching the text contrast.
