I updated the images on my portfolio site and thought I would get some feedback. I am still waiting to post anything I've made from AM though--just because nothing I have done yet is up to my standards yet. Let me know what you think.

Thanks everyone.

Wow, great work! I can't wait to see more!

some beautiful stuff, Josh - only suggestion might be to have a "next" and "previous " button when viewing the images - rather than having to go back to the "thumb page" to get additional images

 

But overall very nice clean design of site - something I seem to be incapable of...

[JoshB]

Thanks for the feedback. Either everyone else felt the same--or it just wasn't that impressive. Ce'ste le vie I suppose ::le sigh::.

 

Wow, great work!  I can't wait to see more!

 

Thanks, I wish I had more time, and less procrastination to do more. I would actually like to revamp the entire site--but, I will have to save that for another day I think. If you wouldn't mind as tedious as it is--what are your "favorite" images?

 

The reason I ask is because when I move this from the school's server I may not be given as much room or bandwidth for the price I can afford so I may have to cut it down.

Thanks. I did have that at one point but, I thought it detracted too much from the matted image in a gallery space feel I was going for. Function-wise I'm right there with ya' aesthetic wise I just couldn't quote get there. And, to be honest the "back to" button gets on my nerves a little--at least the menu button is like a signature on a print. Hope that made sense.

 

And, I pose the same question to anyone who sees the work which do you appreciate the most?

 

Thanks again.

Everything looks great, but something about your photography..your subject shouldn't be center framed unless there isn't any space (as in a close up). For example, in the leaf photo, it should have been on the left or right, or at least a bit more to the side to add interest...one of the main keys to interesting photgraphy

[JoshB]

Interesting observation Jamagica. There is a couple of reasons I did that.

 

One: the leaf wasn't sitting still so it was difficult to frame. There are about 8 or 9 shots that--well let's just say didn't make the cut.

 

Two: I wanted it to be more of a serene image not off balance, and I felt that moving it to the left or right would have done this--also, adding a large space of nothing to the left or right isn't a good idea (at least I don't think so). If there would have been something of interest to the right or left I would've tried to frame it differently. Try to think of it as a close-up of a leaf.

 

Did that makes sense? I hope I don't sound like I'm avoiding your critique or trying to say "yeah--well... " I'm just trying to have a dialogue so you can get my perspective. Please, feel free to critique any of the other pieces, and/or continue thoughts on this one.

 

Anyway, thanks again for the thoughts.

edit: don't know how the angry face ended up in the subject line--wasn't supposed to be there--sorry.

wow very impressive site. it was fast and easy. i dont see how you can improve other than it takes a while to go through the process of expanding the image then going back through all the clicking again.

 

maybe you could make the expanded image a link to the back page.

 

thats all I could think of

[Newbert_Zero]

oops.... didnt see the back button......

 

Oh but maybe you do a pop up menu when you scroll over a section like if the cursor went over the pencil it would show links to the images.
