Congratulations, Godfrey, on great photography and a nice site layout!
One thing though that I wouldn't mind having changed, if possible:
Because of the back-forward buttons on top of each picture, I had
to scroll down each portrait oriented photo of the Ramsey
collection. Had these navigation buttons been placed beneath each
photo, it would immediately load in it's full glorious splendor.
There is a risk that a casual viewer will miss the full frame of
the picture.
Ah, you've confirmed a suspicion of mine.
The site is designed to be comfortable on a 1024x768 display (it's
best with browser info and bookmarks bars hidden), for which I
normally set image sizes to a maximum of about 620 horizontal by 530
vertical. But I wanted to see if anyone looking at the photos would
notice and have a problem with a larger size. I hate scrolling
through a picture myself too.
They've all been replaced now with my standard web size JPEG
rendering ... take another look and tell me whether it is more
pleasing for you.
best
Godfrey
