I haven't posted much work lately because I've been spending more time in the city instead of the woods.
I've also been busy getting my web site completed and operational - finally! I've been getting some good feedback and traffic, especially as foliosnap liked the site enough to use it as an example on their sample sites marketing page. I received my first online image order last week and all the bells and whistles seem to be working ok.
I've been putting my city time to work by trying my hand at urban images. I'd appreciate any and all feedback on the overall site and galleries, especially the Urban gallery, as I do not post that work here for comment, for obvious reasons!
Thanks in advance!

Looks good, Jim. Lots of good photos and it's easy to navigate around. My only recommendation is a very insignificant one, but it'd be to remove the colon from "About the Photographer:" so that it fits in with your other navigation links.
Wonderful work in your galleries...and nice gallery setup!

The ':' is fixed. Thanks for the comments!

Jim,
Very nicely done. Clean, simple and easily navigated. I'm guessing you have all the images loading in the background because once I had been on the site for a few minutes, all the images in the galleries loaded quickly (I'm on dsl btw.)
One very, very minor suggestion. It's not even a nit. On your main gallery page you have a photo and title of each gallery listed plus the "view gallery" link. Personally, the image is already a link and if you simply made the title text a link as well, you wouldn't have the need for the "view gallery" text. No big deal, it's not a distraction... just IMHO, not necessary.
Nice job on the website.

Nicely done Jim. Separating Man in Nature and Urban is a pretty good idea too.

I may have to take a lesson from you!
