Enda-
If this was a shrewd ploy to get us to look at your website, it worked for me. The architectural work is really nice, but it's hard to get as worked up about architectural photography (at least, for me). The landscape work is remarkable, and truly engaging work. I could get lost drifting through those images (in a good way).
As for your photo, I have to say that I think you look slightly better with more closely cropped hair. I don't think the one you posted here on LL really flatters your facial features much and draws focus from your engaging smile. Also, before I make an offer, is the eye with the cataract your viewfinder eye? It could have some bearing on your ability to deliver maximum sharpness.
