Nice shots.

Nice color sachem.

OK, what did you use to make this? For the first thing, don't make people use FS. It just turns them off. Next its too heavy, that or you have a slow web host. It was taking 3-4 seconds to load on my 30 mb/s connection. Last but not least, IMO too much flash, flash should really only be for galleys, everything else should be HTML, HTML loads on everything and is faster. Oh and don't have you about page in the third person, it just looks dorky.

Sorry for kinda ripping you site apart. Its perfectly good and nice looking. those are just my suggestions,

Cheers.
Matthew

Lovely images, but I found it to be painfully slow.

-many "wildlife" pics aren't of wildlife
-Flash

Did you optimize all of your photos for the web? It's either the lack of optimization or messy flash code that makes it load so slow. And it's slow.

When I clicked on Earth, a bunch of B&W thumbnails came up on the right over the top of a B&W image background. Too hard to see. Put some kind of bar or something behind the thumbs. But the other issue there is that the thumbs are over the images. You can't see the whole image. The full screen image view is nice, but not nice enough to lose part of the image for navigation.

fantastic photos though. Great use of light!

Oh and speaking of fullscreen, it doesn`t look like there`s any way to get into the site without first clicking full screen mode. Not cool.

I clicked on it, then escaped out of it. Yes, annoying with that one!
