I wasn't referring to the camera angles. I was only referring to screen caps. The first screen cap and the third appear grainy, on the blurry side.
When I look at the site now, I do like the blue coloring much better than the teal coloring that was previously used.
The site does have the amateur feel to it that it is supposed to have. The color combinations used before were just pretty bright and hard on the eyes. If it is hard on the eyes, or too "in your face", it will deter surfers. The background blue is still bright, but the whole color scheme is much better than the teal kind of color.
It's not the odd colors, it's the shade of the odd colors and how they are used together that makes a difference. Yes, you want the amateur look and not some pro designer look, but at the same time, basic color skills still apply. If the color scheme is hard on the eyes, or just flat out doesn't mesh well, it will do more harm than good.
On the changes, "lifestyles.com" is easy to read. The description text below is not with the black shadow. Decrease the shadow a bit and it will probably work better.
