1: More descriptive title please
2: Fontsize is small. Consider a different font as well
3: I can't decide when to go to the next picture?
4: No description or title on the pictures?
5: Sidescroll on 1024*768 with taskbar on side of screen
6: "Please follow any of the links to your right". Eh, they're not on my right. They're to the right, but not on the right side of that text. And hey; what other links should I follow?
7: OK, you've made half the mistake many people make when posting links: Not describing them. Some are described, most aren't.
8: Consider having news on home
9: You say all images will be printed at high resolution. But at what resolution? 300 dpi? 600 dpi?
10: Eh, a guestbook is supposed to lie open at the entrance of a restaurant. On websites they don't need to be at the entrance, but they should be open. Or do you validate comments first?
11: In general; look at your typography

put your cursor over the picture, there is a box at the bottom of the picture that allows you to go to the next pic ;)

Check your grammar and sentences. Use Open Office or Word to help if need be.

Clean up your source code you have way to much white space in it. This costs extra bandwidth...

Font size could be bigger to make it more legible.

Too much deadspace that could be use more usefully.

The copyright menu link should really be put into the footer or as part of the spiel for your galleries.

Guestbooks are considered both to be a security risk and also a point of attack, it's extra work for you to maintain the site and make sure they don't become Spam drops or abusive messages.

I would avoid describing your prints as inkjet, this has negative connotations for your buyers. Also state the amount in GBP as some of the numbers have Pound signs and others don't.

Header graphic, make it bigger. The cat image is really too small.

News page, if you have no news then don't have a page for it. it makes the site incomplete or you lack business.

Why have a links page? This is an area that should be carefully thought out, especially if you're seen to endorse a product. Also some web owners closely monitor who links to them and it's good manners to ask.

Gallery needs to be looked at, the images go off the bottom of the screen and you need to fill in the description/title of each image or switch that data off. Also better usage of real estate would be appreciated.
