Designs in css zengarden

Hello Prof. James.

Here I am going to comment on the designs I saw in the website CSS Zengardens.

1)The page I liked the most
The design I liked the most was Icicle Outback.
The thing I liked the most was the way different shades of color blue were used. The design has an unfinished look(I strictly don't mean that it is incomplete), which is the real eye catcher for me. The use of a darker shade of blue as a background where the text is written is really cool and innovative.
Other than this, the design is not that complicated. The use of CSS and HTML is good. Nested divs have been used for the design. It is simple and looks good to the eye. No flashy and gaudy things are used, which is another good feature.

2)The page i liked the least
The design I liked the least was Lily Pond.
One word that best describes my opinion of the page is Messy. The background of frog in a flower is not needed at all(or if needed should be put somewhere else in the page) and the text written over it makes the page look under-developed. I feel, that the color combination used here is not a good one. Also, the point of building a simple web page goes to the dumps according to this page, since unnecessary graphics have been used.
