    Too much grey

    Good direction so far, but I think some things could change.

    1. I would try using a fade rather then slide reveal on the main featured part.

    2. Slow down the latest news cycle and have it stop on mouseover if you can.

    3. I'm not a fan of all the grey...It feels like it is not active or unaccessible..

    4. The layout works, but feels kind of like a wireframe, fixing the grey issue will probably resolve this.

    5. The featured slider should fade to dark green in the background. When it's a transparent image, the background changes colors harshly.

    On a good track though my friend!

      Thanks Ben for the feedback, I agree with you on point 1 and 2, I was also thinking to do make these changes.

      3- you have a good point, but from usability point of view it is very easy to read on gray background. But I would experiment with more lighter background near to white color.

      5- This has been done intentionally to highlight picture area. Thanks again, I would do experiment to make better.
