$25.00/72 hour Header Contest (fishing blog)

I am in the process of building a blog about fishing and I need a nice header for the blog.

Here are the specs:

Width: 780px
Height: 175px-250px
Format: PSD
Leave space on the bottom right for a search form!

If you visit http://www.floridashorefishing.com you will see the basic idea I have. I would like it to include the words “Florida Shore Fishing” in a nice font and have at least 1 fish of the following types (in order of relevance):

Tarpon
Snook
Redfish
Pompano
Spotted Sea Trout

Please keep the colors in an ocean theme pallet.

Payment will be PayPal only!

I look forward to seeing all designs!

 

I am in wait for my entry

Anything can be changed according to your liking.

Feedback greatly appreciated

 

Cash, that looks nice. I would want it to have a bit more contrast and I am not a big fan of the water droplets on the lens effect, but overall it is very nice!

Graphics, I do not like the cartoon look, sorry!

Keep them coming!

 

Making changes now, "I would want it to have a bit more contrast" hmm, can you explain more?

 

Different colours:

Sand:


Palm:


Sun:

 

Chewy,
Not a big fan of it, just kind of plain... But I do really like the font you picked on the second attempt.

 

applied on the site:

 

Chewy, that is better, but the city scape is just a bit overwhelming!

Cash, the contrast of that is much better, but I think I would want the font to be differant... maybe one line, not two... and with this design I think I would like it to be a little bit shorter not quite as tall... maybe 200px???

 

Sure Editing now...

 

I like the top one.. best so far! Waiting for other entries!

 

Chewy, that looks great, but the site is going to be about shore bound anglers... Fishermen who dont have boats.

 

thanks for feedback
I will replace the boat images and submit later on tonight
