"Official Launch" of my new site!

Hi guys, I FINALLY have my site ready for public viewing! I would love to get some feedback, comments, critique, etc. on the site, logos, layout, and on the photos themselves.

(It is a smugmug account, and should be bug-free)

Thanks for looking!

Hi there Adam, I like the site, nice and clean layout, simple to navigate.

On your "Galleries" page, I'd make your guestbook hidden as it's already there on your navbar.

Also, I'd get a watermark on your pictures, or at least limit them to the "medium" resolution as there are plenty that would just "lift" you pictures without your knowledge and permission.

Great photography, btw, you've got a good "eye" there !!

Thanks for the critique, Tim! I changed the guestbook gallery-great call on that!

As for the watermark thing, I must admit I am torn. On the one hand, it prevents casual "print-screen"-ing, but OTOH, I think that they can detract from the overall presentation of the picture. (In the meantime, I knocked down the max resolution, while I consider the long-term strategy.)

Thanks again for looking!

Adam

smugmug? i could hardly tell. Great site, well organized and fast. Great images too, digging the bird on the front page. As for the watermarking, don't bother, and print screening generally doesn't work for anything larger than a 6x4" postcard - the ripper cannot get anywhere near the same quality as you (should) be able to deliver, especially through a pro printing service.

one thing: disable the link share photo feature.
