Its a pretty nice font. I have to say, smoother fonts make banners look good, in my opinion. And thats a good example of a smooth font.
But, I just dont like the way it sticks out. If you are using PSP7, click on the font, then go to the 'Layers' tab at the top, then 'Properties'. There are a few effects to choose from there, that blend fonts in with banners nicely.
Overlay seems to be the best font. Thats how I got the font in my Street Fighter gif sig to look how it does.
Play with some effects on the fonts, blending = good.
Ok, now for the rest of the banner. The BG is pretty nice, that to could use some effects. But that depends on the program you use.
The pictures you chose are great quality. Sadly, the cuts let them down a little. To get te best cuts, its a good idea to zoom really far into the picture you're cutting, and go over it very slowly, using the rubber to rub out the BG on the picture. Usually looks more acurate.
Over all though. I give it 7/10. I like the fact that you have improved on the points I gave you about fonts, and the BG is nice.
Keep up the good work.
