Love the header and navigation on the first one! Second one I like too, but I think it's missing something :dunno:
Really like the first one but the portfolio is a little cartooney for me; I dont really know how better to explain it, it just looks a bit less -----...
The second one doesn't look as if its finished. Theres 2 navigation links and 4 examples. Looks like a W.I.P. if anything.
I like the nav. on the second one, but the rest is meh, seems unfinshed, first one is awesome, great navbar, awesome banner. Though I would suggest you change the font of: "www.cssdope.com" and "FEATURED SITE" to arial or somthing, cuz now its totaly a differnt font if you look at the other type's
