I'd support Ross in this. I recently did the same thing with a client of mine (not web design) even though it meant taking a significant hit on cash flow - the hassle I was getting just wasn't worth it. The funny part was, within a week or so I had three calls from other consultants I know

Riva If they're insistent on using the photo then why not try the Windows Vista-style design? I think Microsoft have hired some half-decent designers as their Vista site is actually really nice visually. For your project I'm referring specifically to the Vista start page:
