much, much better!

I see what you mean about the colors. For something like this I lean towards keeping "content" colors (box backgrounds) neutral (black, white, grays) so the focus is in on the photos. It also helps keeps the site from appearing cluttered and overpowering (IMHO). I uploaded a screen shot with altered colors and some minor comments. Easier to explain this way.

I do like the idea of categories. Even with the tags below the monster thumbnails, you can make each row the same category and add a header above them. But categories can get a bit tedious if you don't keep them broad enough. This is a tough call. Could go either way.

Here is a better version of the header. I was bored so I cleaned it up and added a few extra touches.

I've also uploaded the PSD of the header so you (and anyone else interested) can see how I did it. I'll admit, it's a bit clunky how I went about it, so altering certain aspects is more difficult than they should be. But the end result is the same.

I know looking at PSD's and talking with other designers is a HUGE help in improving my design skills and knowledge. I'm happy to share!

Hope this helps.
