My site banner

[RFarmer]

Here is a banner than I made in photoshop for my Joint Operation's Clan. Critique it please . Keep in mind that I did not optimize it yet, and it is full quality, even though I sliced it up in Image Ready it might take a while to load.

You commented on mine so I'll return the favor. ;D
Looks pretty nice, and you're right, it takes a while to load. You have a little slice of the bullet in the top image, so when both parts load there's a small piece out of sync with the rest. Other than that and the load time, it's nice.

My only question: Couldn't you have made that animation in Flash? I'm sure it would load much faster. I don't know how long the finished one will take to load though.

Ha thanks for returning the favor. After closer inspection I noticed that the top part of the bullet got sliced off and they are timed different LOL! Yeah I going to go about making it flash, but it was faster for me to do it this way for now. I will see how the optimization goes and how fast it loads. Thanks...

Very well done! 2 things to look at though.
The bullet could go faster, a majority of people read faster than the bullet.
The entire banner is dark. I hope your site has generally dark text/ background/ pictures. Otherwise, there will be too much contrast.
