I'll admit, #0033cc is not my favorite link color. But it's a requirement for this project, and it's been fun to try and work around it. Soften it up a bit with the surround elements and treatments.
Dave's right about softening the blow. Sometimes link color can be a hard nut to crack, but it looks like you didn't let it jerk you around. Just swallowed your pride and came out on top.

I guess it's the price you have to pay when designing for Google (I'm just assuming here).
P.S: I am sure Doug has a few tips :).

Tough challenge. Think its turning out well..
However:
Pixelated photo + flesh tones = raised eyebrow.

blurple.. LOL
Why is everyone thinking that this is a pixelated photo? It’s just a beautiful mosaic, you low-brows!
Great shot, Dave!

The limitations force creativity. The palette for our non-profit is tough to work with too. Keep it up!

It's just some Leisure Suit Larry video clips - Dan is working on the new website for the latest in the series. Duh.

#0033cc, isnt that Bing's "$80 million dollar blue"?
Which makes the Google'ish'ness of this ironic.
