I first used this slide show to showcase the 2003 WWWW winners on the NGPP's website. I really like it because it is interactive, nothing moves until you tell it to, plus the effect of a curtain opening is just cool.
To test this out just click on the image below. The next image should present itself. It might need a second or two depending on how fast your internet connection is.
This is called "curtain" dynamic effect. It can be used on front or inside pages and takes any size image which is good for compact sites.
