New travel site needs a main pic to showcase on their homepage. The pic should include the text 'Travel Smarter', but this text COULD change so we need to take that into account. The showcase pic you will be designing will replace the current beach pic seen at www.resortdepot.net.
The art should be FUN, CONTEMPORARY, BOLD, TRENDY, but not overly busy.
Updates
We are NOT looking for a stock photo that I can go get myself. I am very familiar with stock photos. We are looking for a bold design that CAN include a stock photo. In such cases, the stock photo will most likely need to be touched up to work well with this theme.

Requirements
Must have
- We are likely to keep the current color scheme seen on the homepage so the pic will need to compliment these colors.
Should not have
- The main part of the showcase graphic should not be on the left as the 'Plan your next vacation' box is staying on top. The design is simply being swapped out with the beach scene. The 'Plan your next vacation' box that hovers over the showcase pic is staying put.
