I don't care for music on a website and I couldn't find the off button. Normally I would have clicked away to another site, but you asked for a critique so here it is.

The pages are too wide and I have a to scroll over to see the text. The text on your photos looks a bit pixilated. Theres no continuity. Every header page is a different color. Keep them the same.

Good luck!

yeah i dont see why you think he pages are too wide what browaster are you using? I tested it in two of them. I do agree with the head trying to find someone to fix it.

It's not a browser issue, it's the monitor setting. I use 1024 x 768, and I'm sure a lot of people use that too. If I make the resolution bigger, I have trouble reading the text. My eyes aren't as good as they used to be!

Site isn't bad but a few things that need to be fixed (essentially echoing mike's thoughts here)

- No off button? Gotta at least have an off button for music. Everyone will tell you not to turn music on autoplay, which I agree with (there are good reasons for this) but if you want it on autoplay its not that big a deal, just make sure theres an off button.

-I am so confused by the headers. The banner and menu bar changes every time I click on a new "section" of your site... Make sure your site flows and the base layout (top menu) is the same graphic throughout, and that the pages have the same color theme.

The text in the home page is one BIG paragraph & hard to read. It needs to be formatted with some space.

I'm at 1024X768 and it requires scrolling to the right to read.

It's pretty good, better than mine for sure but turn the music off and clean it up a bit as far as formatting and stuff :D

It does look pretty good, nice one. But I must say that I hate music on websites. Also, my antivirus phishing alarm went off! I've never had that happen before???

Good call on that mike. I think I got the problem with the pages fixed I shrunk them down. Isnt there some kind of HTML code that makes sure that the pages shrink or grow automatically for the resolution size? I figured that what it was doing but I checked it out on the resolution you suggested and indeed there was an issue.

hmmmm I think you guys might be right on the music........ehhhhhhhh i hate to do it but i'll probably take it off very soon.

Yes. I see you are using tables, so instead of using fixed sizes like this table width="1067", delete it. This way it will "grow" automatically.

Good luck...:D

The others have commented on the layout and such of the website. I'd like to ask what exactly you want to say with the website. Are you foremost a photographer or retoucher? I'm afraid that was a bit confusing to me. You talk a lot about digital enhancement such as taking away blemishes. That to me gives me the impression you are a retoucher more than a photographer, and with that in mind I expected to see another type of photos. Such as many "before" and "after" pictures that really shows the transformation you've done on the photo with your "digital plastic surgery" skills.

If you are foremost a photographer then I feel your text should focus on that and not how good you are at taking away blemishes.
