Thoughts? Opinions? :happysad:

Pretty . At first I thought the hands were a little eerie looking but the green Coconut Beach logo makes everything better.

Yeah, I think the arm thing is a little freaky and the information on the tips should be moved to second from the last -- just before the sexual disclaimer.

Also, add more good things that you do, to even out the amount of "restrictions" that seem necessary.

Basically, when I see that I first flip out because it looks weird with the hands, and then I read a whole bunch of "negative" things that I have to obide by, without hearing about the GOOD things that you do to balance it.

So, put more good things above the restrictions (which are necessary to list, I understsand), then list your restrictions/requirements, and be sure to move the tip-factor to second to last.

OH, and change that damn hand thing!

Just my 0.02, or maybe 0.25.

Just to let you know one of the frst things you learn as a photographer is to not put a photo on your business card.

Couple reasons actually.

first its a small image and sometimes people don't see it as it should be (misreading the intentions of the image).

another reason is because many times the printers cannot get the card right no matter how many times they re-print the cards for you.

Just something to keep in mind.
