Critiques Needed

[Govinda]

I'm back! I have two new website skins I need any first impressions on.

Thank you for any help or advice you can give me.

i like the second design better.. but i'd like it better if it was a bit lighter.
First one's size is better cuz it'll fit on a 800*600* screen.

the second skin feels moodier. The first feels light and playful. If that helps, I am just recognizing the mood, and I dont know what mood you are attempting. I like dark and moody better personally, if I had to chose between these two..but again, that is my personal choice.

I like the simplicity of the layouts...very strong when simple/
