    I'm not sure - when I first clocked it - I thought it was a "I'm a Celebrity.....Get Me Outa Here" funny!!!

    I'd recommend putting a better quality jpg of it up though. If you look at the red "Martin Lewis" there is a lot of artefacting.

    I think the problem is with your monitor or video card, looks perfect on my screen.
    The whole thing is fine to me.

    Really good picture, much better than the old one.

    I quite like the green background but the one thing I would change is the yellow writing. It seems out of place and I would just make it red like the 'Martin Lewis' bit. Less fussy but still eyecatching.

    After having another look I think that one of the reasons I'm not keen on it is that it makes the page look quite 'busy'.

    While I find it easy to navigate around the site ( I ignore the headers, banners and other stuff usually) I wonder how a new user would view the site. I'm trying to look at it with a fresh eye and the only word I can come up with is 'busy'.
    Just run, run and keep on running!

    I much prefer the photo - it actually looks like you now, Martin.

    However, I'm with mrgoof on the green and yellow. I find the yellow words fussy and almost interfering and I don't like the larger M, S and E (although I know why you've done it) Maybe the larger letters could be saved for the logo by the photo?

    I've been punched, kicked, bitten, head butted and almost strangled. So don't blame me for having a dark sense of humour !
