Fairly tipical of a photographer's portfolio page. It's more about showing off the images then the fancy flash page, which is good of course. It's probably exactly what you intended. I like it.

The only comment I would have (other then the huge load times when you preload all the images) is that it took me a while to find the contact info. And even when I did find it, the fact that it was so close to the bottom of the page. It would hide if I moused too far down. That was a little annoying.

If I were to change anything I would leave a 10 to 15 pixel black bar at the bottom of the page that would have your contact link always visible as well as some visual indicator that you can find more images if you mouse down in that area.

Still, since the page is more about the images and the images are very nice... what can I say. Nice site.

Thanks TomMalufe. Really appreciate the time taken to comment and point out the faults. I agree as well in regards to the contact button being a bit annoying - will fix it up asap.

On the other hand - I tried my best to balance file size with quality. I usually upload around 500-750kb for each image, just incase if someone uses really hi-display settings, my images won't tear up... as it scales to fill the entire browser.

It's an understandable line to walk sometimes. Quality vs. load time. I think you did well enough. My connection is just being slow these days (I think it's my router).
