Marko,
Looks good to me. Some links are not working yet and or not in English.

You have some great landscapes there that I've never seen on NPN. Why are you depriving us. The site is really nicely designed and easy to use. My only nit is there doesn't seem to be a way to get back to the home page unless I click on the language link in the upper right and then the home page was in Slovenic?

Fantastic photography and a very nice looking website with easy navigation.
Congratulations on your web site. Your photography is beautiful.
One of my strenghts is evaluating web sites, since I used to do it at work. Here are few observations.
1) Help people navigate between languages. Put the word "English" (not hyperlinked to anything) to the left of the hyperlinked word "Slovensko". That will tell me I'm on the English page. Do the same on the other page. Put an un-hyperlinked word "Slovensko" next to the link for English.
2) Don't say "click here". People would like to know if their email program will launch before clicking on a link. It can be really annoying to people if they click on a link and then have to wait a long time for their email client to open. Instead of "click here" try something like this, "If you would like to purchase this photo (30x40 cm) for 35 Euro, then send an email to me at marko.trebusak@sandoz.com."
3) Place your navigation on the home page. It took me a while, but I finally found out that you can click on the picture of the tree to see your "real" web site. Please don't hide all the great things about your web site behind a front page.
4) As suggested above. Make it easy for people to go home. Place a link to home on every page. At the least, make the VTis logo a hyperlink to home.
5) Galleries is spelled wrong.
6) Make sure the contrast between text and background is enough to make it easy for people to read. The white text on the gray background becomes a bit tough to read after a few lines. You can google for interesting information, such as http://universalusability.com/access_by_design/color/contrast.html
7) Here are some great articles on web site usability. Some of the tips are easy to follow. Some might take a bit more time.
Thank you folks for you comments and suggestions. I'm facing some home network problems and could not connect to server, but as soon as I'll be able, I'll make suggested improvements. Jon, I'll look into your site and thanks for your suggestions.
Dan, I'm not depriving NPN community. If I didn't post any of my photos in ESS, it's only because there is a gap between developing and scanning of my images. And in mean time I forget what I posted and what I didn't. I hope that with new scanner things will improve.
