The stable on the wood -- MAIN BANNER

[xxfillyfoalxx]

Type: Main Banner

Site Name: "The stable on the wood"

Text: Just the logo to be used, really.

Ideas: These are the images I'd like to be usedin the fore ground:
i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb403/Thestableonthewoods/Banner/horsehead.jpg
i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb403/Thestableonthewoods/Banner/forms.jpg
I'd like these to be quite big and the main focal point, perhaps the horse to the left and the sign to the right? I'd really like these to stand out.
For the background or in the middle:
This is my fave image i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb403/Thestableonthewoods/Banner/ahs09_4.jpg
But also if you can or think it would fit I love these images too:

i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb403/Thestableonthewoods/Banner/tsow_ahswoods.jpg

Size: I'll leave that to you, you're the expert.

Mood/Color: The background for the actual site will be this:
i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb403/Thestableonthewoods/Banner/toile_sm.gif (Not on the actual banner) and the logo to be this
i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb403/Thestableonthewoods/Banner/logo_tsotw.gif
I really like the whole navy and cream combination going on there, but I don't want to colour of the images to be effected that much.

Site's Plot Summary: This is a Equestrain Academy RPG, based around high school and horses.

Comments: I've never worked with yous before, and I know I've been quite fuss but I'd just like you to work your magic. You know whats best, and we'll just see the result. I am starting up my own rpG for the first time and would like for yous to make a skin, but I thought I'd start off with this first.

Thanks,
Hailey <3

Two things before I start.

First, I normally work with stock images (unless you yourself have taken the picture) and second, is it a manip or a mere blending of the images?

Ahh I see your issues with copyright but I really don't like using stock images, I never seem to find anything that fits.

Have you tried Flickr Creative Commons?

Sorry to butt in, but you can't just 'not use stock images' because you can't find any good ones. It is illegal to use those images because they are copyrighted. Heck, some of them have the photographer's names on there!

Flickr has some really good stock images, as does deviantArt (sometimes).
