    I think it's certainly got a sleek look, but I'd do away with the red background and maybe make it plain black. The flash also seems to be a bit sluggish, but other than that it's nice. Very professional, well done! ;)

    Background is very busy. How do I navigate the photos? How do I enlarge each?

    Looks like "cover flow" of iPod fame... kinda cool.. maybe speed it up a bit
    so it's more like the Apple concept. I agree with the other poster that maybe
    do away with the red and make it all clean black...

    But not so bad, IMO....

    Thanks for all for all of the feedback. In terms of navigating photos, you go to where it says Gallery and click on that, then there are separate albums with some examples of my work. Then you can just click on the pictures to enlarge and it shows prices, etc....

    You asked... looks pretty basic. Don't like the fonts - size and relationship. Readability isn't good. Not sure what Fine Art Photography has to do with your site, just lots of car/motocycle pics. Loads slow - as noted. Nav is odd. I get pop ups with tons of code when hovering over pics. Keep working on it!

    I agree, there is, indeed, much room for improvement, but there's no place to start from than the bottom and you've got a good idea going. Just keep tweaking, you'll get it! ;)

    Thanks for the constructive criticism. In terms of Fine Art Photography, that is what I do. All of the pictures you see were taken by me. It is still in the works and we are currently working on the loading and navigation, also working on making it a little easier to read.
