Another Stab

It looks good except for the upper part..

My feelings are that there are no direct structure in the menu and the background in the menu isn't helping the menu in any way..

Perhaps it would be better if the upper part were white and the logo were black and the background were white.. Redesign!

Everything above looks really nice except for the watermark text in the image of the woman..

So far its looking nice, I agree the navigation area needs more presence as it doesnt feel its making a point enough (unlike the content, which is strong and very nice indeed)

I agree with Martin's points, although its still early days and is looking great :)

The watermark as said is in the way of your nav bar. I like the use of it - maybe seperate it away from the functionality / nav. and use it as a highlight behind your image. - just an idea. good structure and I find a grid behind your layout that is invis to the blind eye. Slightly bland - landing it into the principal of sterile originality. You accomplished your idea effectively. Is that what you want to market though?

You've got a typo in the first line....

I agree about the navigation bar -- if you're going for a multilayered 'crystal' effect, you need to mix it up with some more shades, otherwise I would suggest leaving it plain.

The main body looks really good -- clean and bold. I like the concept of the washed out image. It does leave me with a slightly disturbed feeling though -- any chance you can find a picture that's a little less freaky looking?

Good luck with the site!
