Serge -
You are very good with people pictures! The entry point to your site gives no indication of how to proceed but I clicked on the first picture and was able to then see the rest. A few had some extreme highlights which I don't like but in the context of being candid shots they were still quite good. (I personally think that blown-out highlights lead the eye away from the main subject.) I was also impressed by the interior picture with the bookshelves. Keep up the good work. |

Unfortunately I get Debug errors when I try and rollover a menu (not to mention 5-10 when I first load the page)..
It seems the function CSIShow(..) doesn't exist?
I see the page tries to load in ../GeneratedItems/CSScriptLib.js. I wonder if it's failing?
I'm running IE6 on a fairly well kitted out dev machine. :-/

some nice images Serge ;)
Site is clean and nice (love the black) - A little complicated navigation wise but all in all great site with great work.
Ps: what lenses are you using on you D1x? I noticed some very wide shots, and as a D100 user who is just about to buy a wideangle quite interested!

Hello Jon, first thank you for your time.
The wideangle is a AF 10.5 mm f/2.8 G ED DX Nikkor fullframe fisheye, I swapped against a website a month ago.
Before, i used to shoot the panoramas and some architectural shots with the AF 14 mm f/2.8 ED-RF Nikko , but trying to improve workflow, I figured this 10mm f 2.8 would give me what I was looking for:
- the 14mm, altough rectilinear, still showed quite some deformation, and it's piqué (sharpness?) was far from what I'd expect from a fixed lens, the deformation still asked for quite some tuning in PS an PTools
- the 10mm is really great, incredible piqué and infinitely smaller and lighter then the 14mm. With Ptools and as a new feature of Nikon capture 4, you get rid of the fisheye deformation anyhow.
Check out this site, very interesting if you are hunting glass:

hope this helps

Sergut, wow! Great site. I would agree with the initial page (very cool image, btw). Maybe just putting "Enter" below the pic would solve any confusion.
The rest of the site is very well laid out and easy to use. I didn't get any errors at all. I absolutely love the panaramas. They are great and were fun to view. Your other images are excellent too. As rmahan said, you have a way with people pictures.
Great work.

Really good site. I really like the opening page photo. I was wondering why after the first page it resizes my browser to really small. That's quite annoying, cos not only does it mean i have to scroll a lot to see the photos, it means when I open a new browser on a different website, that's small too.

YOU HIJACKED THE SIZE OF MY BROWSER! That's one of my biggest pet peeves in website design. You should design your site to be useable on many common resolutions. I'm a user, I'm used to being able to maximize my window. If you don't let me, then you've started out by putting me in an uncomfortable situation.
That's just my two cents.

I dunno how you guys missed it but there IS an 'enter' written on the dashboard right under the dog - at the root of the site!
Its a really great site.
Navigation is easy and
Great idea to have the panoramics using Quicktime.
Nice images on the designs page.
Well - all the images are great.
Nice site dude- good colours you have used easy on the eyes - nothing too flashy - very simple.

Thank you all for your visit and encouragements. Have made some changes allready following your rightest views.
- improved navigation buttons' feedback
- opened a new window for sites content, (because i like a neutral environment without nobs and navigationbars-menus-etc), just close it, and you're back in your old interface
- included CSS, thank you Jon
Cheers, everyone

Hello sergut,
What your site lacks the most is the so called "accessibility".
The issues I have found:
- some fonts are so small that the text is almost unreadable.
- you are opening new windows, which is wrong. You can read why here:
diveintoaccessibility.org/day_16_not_opening_new_windows.html
- the thumbnails are rather small
- the most regrettable thing for me is, that I can't see the whole photo without scrolling: I see only half of it, and I have to scroll up and down. I am using 800x600 resolution (my eyesight is not perfect and my monitor is not big), and the window for the photograph is just too narrow. I can send you a screenshot if you want me to.
I would prefer the more simple approach: you will have one page with big enough thumbnails, so I can decide from the thumbnail, which photo I want to see full-sized. Then, when I click on some of them, only that one photo will be displayed. There is no need to display all thumbnails with each photo - it's more distracting than usefull.
So far so good, I wish you good luck with your website. If you would need some more help, you can always write me.

| Definitly thank you to everyone. Guess I make up my mind between my own view on looks and userfrienlyness. I'll give it a thought for a couple of days, try out some other solutions locally and publish an upgrade then. I really appreciate your attention and comments, back to work & challenges now. |

I havent use this QuickTime before and it is so good for photos. A way, how you can zoom in center, it is like you are really walking there!
And pictures are also very good.
