The text is too small to read, at least for my old eyes. Why is your site right-justified?

beautiful shots of some very interesting architectural structures. I agree about the font size. I found myself distracted by the folks moving through some of the images - is this to add movement / tension / color?, or were they just in the way? Thank you for sharing - I am pretty sure I learned a few things looking at your images!

You have some very nice shots jmcm, most of your verticals are straight too which is important with indoor shooting of this type.

Couple things though, I agree with the font size being to small. On your homepage, out of the two on the right with the women 'moving'. The one on the left I think works but the right one with just her back half visible doesn't look very good there.

I am guessing your not using flashes and its all done on tripod using only ambient light? Probably what is doing all the motion blur of the people. I think there is too much of it throughout the website in my opinion. Was ok seeing it a little on the homepage but every 3rd picture in your gallery has some person being blurred. There also seems to be a lot of repeat pictures in the gallery. Same shot but one in landscape, one in portrait etc...

oh and on the homepage, not sure if its just my computer at work but all those squares on the bottom and middle, are they suppose to be empty? I tried refreshing a few times but they are still empty.

You seem to be on the right track, keep it up man

Hi! Thanks for your opinions. I used persons at my photos to give it a scale. They are just in the way.
I used only ambient light and i never used flash-lights or something like that.
About the website, i will make some modifications, taking your opinions in account.
In the galley it's normal to appear some empty squares because i only have four works to publish. The same thing happens at publication gallery. Arqf project is too young.

Thanks, your opinions are welcome. Please visit it regularly.

The text is too small to read. There's too much empty space (left and right) between the content and I have to scroll left to see all of the content using a 1024 x 768 monitor.

I do like the design though.
