Hi kwd,

Not sure what you want here, comments on the website itself or the photographs within it :dunno

Anyway I'll have a go at both :D

The website is clean and uncluttered (unlike mine :rofl) and presents the photographs very well. Not too many galleries or pictures, but I see that as a positive as I think in these circumstances more is less. I'm not keen on the banner, particularly the colours, but I think that's just personal taste and you'll probably find plenty of others people will.

Have a look here (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=959&highlight=examples) for some links to other customised smugmug pages.


For comments on the pictures your probably better off posting individual photographs in the relevant forums and asking for critiques, I see that you've already posted a few in other forums, (the deer with the tongue is excellent) so I probably didn't need to say that. You can also embed links directly from your smugmug site which I find much easier than attaching images. Look here (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=8401) if you need help.

Very generally speaking I think a lot of your pictures suffer from central composition, look here (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=2076&highlight=rule+thirds) for some tips, but you have some nice stuff especially some of the wildlife shots :thumb:thumb

Thanks for the input. I need all the help I can get, but primarily I was going for the page design at this point. The photos, I learn new things everyday...
