Hello folks,
I've just changed my gallery layout.
www.kisselev.com


Your comments and critique (from both artistic and technical points) is greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

Hi Vitali,

Brilliant...absolutely wonderful. And just when I didn't think there were many more good, dark, sensuous background colours. If I didn't have one already, I'd steal yours. :)

Just so you don't think I've been blinded by beauty, however, I'll mention spelling:
1. "Digital" is one word in the heading (you've got a space between "Di" and "gital."
2. In the page heading (in the browser window bar at the top), "Photography" has an extra "t".
3. Your sponsor should be spelled with an "s" rather than a "c."

Also, your site would be even more attractive (for me) with the following changes:
1. Center the page if that's not too difficult.
2. Move the "Sponsored by" logo to the bottom.
3. Lose the counter since you can access your page statistics from your webhost (or put in 50 "" and bury it way down the page).
4. Make your heading a graphic to match the elegance of the rest of your site (right now it shows up with whatever typeface the viewer is using).
5. Don't tell me what camera you're using (or how you feel about it -- you're obviously liking it from the results you're getting) as an introduction. If you'd like to mention these things, use a link to "Comments."

So, the big message is that your photos and layout and changing colors are so beautiful that you don't want anything to detract from them -- including you. Headline to graphic, sponsor to bottom, email to bottom, introduction to comments.

Just leave us in a purple haze, surrounded by beautiful photos -- which they are.

Very nice photos Vitali! And I very unique web site! Probably takes a bit more time to layout you pages now, huh? :)

Thank you!
Don, special thanks to you, for the hard work you’ve done.
Several other people checked the site before publishing and nobody mentioned such obvious mistakes. But there is no excuse, shame on me. Except for the sponsor’s logo, that is what they gave me.
I have already put few fixes, and looking for the work -around for the rest.
Perfection is always in pursuit.
Best Regards,
Vitali
