I would suggest using much smaller images, particularly on the bar. If you keep them small, low resolution images still look good and take less time for the viewer, typically using a 56k modem, as I do, to see. We can click to see the higher res images. It looks like high contrast is your style, but beware that if you intend to show any shadow detail... monitors ain't so good at that. Oh, by the way. Compression is good for transmission time, but the client computer still has to decompress each image and that takes time. Those of us without T1 connections may get too impatient to see your work. - -Mike
