New web site - feedback welcome.

It seems that a number of members aren't only talented photographers, but graphical design wizards as well (which isn't surprising I guess). I'm very much of the opinion that less is more, and I welcome your informed feedback on my website.

Thanks in advance,

Ron.

i think your site is very neat looking
the only thing i would crtitizise is the blue color of the links on the right.
I would rather want to see them in black or dark grey, or maybe put them in the header as I did on my page which can be seen at //www.zeranico.com

Well I use IE, and I like it. The site is clean and simple which makes it easy to navigate and doesnâ��t distract from the most important part of the page, your amazing photography.

Congratulations on a beautiful site.

Hmmm, that's interesting. I used #666666 as the text color here - not sure what that is 'meant' to correspond to, but for me it always looks gray on my monitor. I guess color perception is a subjective thing. It will be interesting to get more feedback on this.

I also tried creating this color in PhotoShop, and it's gray there as well.

Thanks Tom. My intention was to accentuate the photos, and I'm glad that I seem to have succeeded.

PS Feel free to 'steal' any of my code, but if you want to reference the images let me know.

well it can be a bit tricky to make a site that looks the same in most popular browsers.

I checked it out in Mozilla and it looks fine there, maybe there arent that many freaks that use Safari for you to worry about this;)

Congrats on the site:D

Beautiful web site in its simplicity - you have done a very nice job with it! I can't think of anything helpful to say - you've already done so well!

Incredible shots you showcase there as well.

#666666 is (in web talk) a very dark gray color.
