Kyle Beikirch and I looked at several Zen Garden CSS designs. Among all of them, my favorite design was the old theater, I felt that this design was the most successful in engaging me and in creating the most realistic virtual space. I was also impressed with the scrolling being contained withing the main divisions. At first we didn't believe it was done with divisions, and viewed the source code to see if frames had been used- they weren't. The sublet stylistic elements of the chairs and stage were very convincing. The only right and left stage graphics seem a bit jagged, and the top seems to simple and vector to be a true recreation of an old theater. Another good small detail is the static within the main division, to give the feel of an old spotty projection. The typography on the actual website is hard to read, and I feel that it could have been positioned better, but solely judging the CSS layout I feel that it is overall successful.
The designed that I did not like was the CSS layout entitled "A walk in the Garden". The Top Image and the overall color scheme is well done. However my main problem is the verticalness of the website. Personally when I go to a website I find scrolling down to be a chore, in this website the entire website is hidden below the original window, which weakens it. Personally I just get impatient and get immedieatly frustrated with the site itself.

Excellent objectiveness. Consider breaking up your text a bit- long paragraphs can be tedious to read.
