Reason for edit: thumb your pictures, please. thanks! :D

i hate to be the one who's gonna bash it. it's just the whole concept of header images with redundant people in the same position. kinda cliché, but that might just be me.

working with images like these is dangerous. you can make it look good if you really put some effort into it, but if you just take a celebrity and copy his / her face and paste it on itself 14 times, then it starts looking like a 10 year old's piczo page. even more-so than most people realize, unless you took the photograph yourself, got it from a free stock photo site and received permission from the photographer, or paid for the image, it's copyright infringement.

i'd say use only one image, but add in some original designs with non-standardized text (meaning don't grab a love quote or a song lyric just to slap on there). try experimenting with different layers of the same image. for example, you can add effects behind the person, but in front of the background. try to give the header a common theme with the rest of your site. too many people copy and paste a picture with a quote like "pain is good" and call it artwork...and then their sites are happy and chipper with bright colors.

doesn't make much sense to me. it's like anyone with photoshop is a self-proclaimed graphic designer. i know i suck at photoshop, which is why i try my best to keep my layout graphics to a minimum, and focus on interesting coding.
