Yeh, TLA I like the bigger pix.
It’ll mean that some of the more woeful examples of shutter clicking that pass for “photography”on this site might be a little less difficult to determine.
The clutter down each side is a bit of a distraction.
I suggest that you either eliminate it or make it a bit more cohesive.

I was going to comment that the collage is all arses and Patti, but then I realised that it is therefore a pretty accurate representation of Twop content
I agree with Shazza’ and Mez that Patti peering from the corner is offputting, unless that swan is going to peck her eyes out. she seems to be puckering up to kiss that arse.
pics are better – but bigger serif text is horrible

It doesn’t HAVE to have the collage, but let’s see how it goes. The much bigger pics and text are way better, so probably will keep the theme. Will decide on bg later.

Not that it matters, TLA, but the new theme’s all over the shop for me. The pics (and text) do seem a bit bigger, although I’m only getting about 2mm of the aforementioned collage around the edges. My browsers are too tweaked, so I’m getting next to nothing on Firefox, and this bit of a mess on IE. Shou ga nai.

Sheesh, he thought. How far they’d all come, from sans to serif. But almost a backward step; it brought back memories of the first time he’d stepped on a jellyfish before recoiling, when the now brackish Swan was still good for swimming. Later he’d glory in the destruction of gelatinous tissues; whether jellyfish, or the soft, barely fried fat of a Fremantle breakfast, inevitably followed by gelato. All these memories swam together in his mind, like a North Freo rip bringing driftwood, seaweed, used condoms, together in a tangled skein of parochiality.
