Seems to be the general consensus; If I use the image I'll stick with the original high-contrast one.

# I think so.
people want to see a variety of images and they do not really browse sites, per-se, they mostly follow links from search engines - you are unlikely to win many users with a page which makes them click again. This is what I do, so I am a bit anal about it.

The original image is much nicer in my humble opinion than this one. I am fond of contrast.
(I helped save b3ta! LordManley twitter.com/LordManley, Tue 3 Feb 2009, 21:15, archived)
# Good point.
I toned down the image itself so I could display the title against it, but I agree, I prefer the original. I'll make another stab at it later anyway, probably ditching the splash. Thanks for the advise!

# well since you asked.
The depth of field looks too forced ( as in photoshpped )
The lack of contrast makes it look too washed out.
The lack of variance in the values makes it look dull.
All in all not a picture I'd be using if it were to indicate my skills as a photographer for hire.

Thanks for the spam.

# the original images is a well a balanced photo
that shows off some good photo skills...
the edit looks washed out and relatively amateurish.

if you're trying to advertise your photoing skills use a photo that shows good photography technique, not photoshop technique.

also, don't have a splash page, they're pointless, annoying and waste of my clicking finger's energy.

just my two pence
