You might want to feather the edges of that center picture and maybe the one on the right.

Rectangular Marquee -> select the edges -> right click -> feather, mess around with the radius.

I think the font will work, just give it something like an extrusion or a bevel....make it stand out from the rest of the banner, if you would like just post the background and I can show you what I mean

nice job Very Happy

That's such a trend-whorish way to make a sig (edit: banner) with the bubble and the bar. Do something crazier.

OR banner. It looks more like a sig which is why I ended up saying that. If it's a banner you shouldn't have a bubble in the corner like that, you want it to sort of blend in to the rest of the site, but in a way catch the eye.

Also, if you are over-enamored with the bubble you may want to fix how the picture inside of it doesn't take up the whole area (you've got a black stripe on the side, looks a bit silly.)

It's also pretty huge for a banner, try more narrow. (either that or I just have a fetish for when they're long 'n thin)

Finally: The focus should be on the name, right now the name (which has a very 'aliased' edge) isn't what my eye is drawn to. You should make it bigger/stand out more/look prettier.
