    There's too much light in the snowy mountains picture. The Tamtiel Vault title cannot be clearly distinguished from the background. Also the picture is overall beige on mobile.

    The header on I'm using with this one is slightly transparent (73% opacity) but we have completely opaque versions in black and white as well. :) Fair point about the beige--but iirc, we had an all beige one with a deathclaw and dovahkiin not so very long ago too. ;)

    This one actually looks a lot better than I would have thought. I might actually prefer it over yesterday's one.

    I find myself in the same boat... I'm very surprised at just how good this looks. Can't wait to see Whiterun :D

    Right?? I find that its somehow both serene AND invites adventure and exploration at the same time. 

    Yep, we are all in that boat it seems. I say let's rock it and see who falls out first :D

    This background is stunning. I think it needs a hawk, though. if it wins can we get a bird of prey edited in? Kyne or Auriel and all that...? :D

    I think running it through a darkening filter may fix some of the brown issues.

    fixed the brown issues, but you still have big glob of white on the left.

    River Sunset is up! Tomorrow I'll be posting screen captures of all the options so that people can view them all side by side. :)

    I'm not really sure about this one. On the one hand I like it, but I'm just not sure if it's as good as the Snowy Mountains. This'll be tricky to decide...

    The logo, framed by mountains against the sunset background, really looks great though. Another tough call...

    I like how the title is positioned between the mountains and above the sunset. And as you go down, it turns slightly dark and murky as if there's adaptive lighting. We still have one more background left before the final decision.

    Gotta go for Whiterun Hold!
