Not bad: I agree with Mike that the basics are there, in that it loads quickly, the layout is clean and the images are easily seen. The arrows don't jump around as you move between images, which is good.

But (there's always a but)

1. It would be nice if the keyboard arrow keys (left and right) worked to go to previous/next in the gallery.
2. Clicking on the image always takes you to the next photo; the only way to go back to the previous one is to use the tiny arrow at the bottom. Some designs use a click on the left half of the image to go back and on the right half to go forwards, which is nice.
3. The "Home" button to return from a gallery is small and unobtrusive: once found, it's memorable, but it took me a little while.

IMHO, as ever.

Same opinion... I would only add two comments:

* On the navigation bar, where you have the "Home" link, links to the other galleries would be very useful.
* At the second gallery, my browser displays an ugly scrollbars on each frame; the other two galleries are fine.

I agree with the other comments (except that I don't get the "ugly scrollbars" on any of the galleries, using the good Norwegian browser Opera, of course).

I would like the "Home" link on the gallery pages to be a bit bigger and more conspicuous, and having links there to the other galleries would be nice, too.

If you can figure out how to implement the Arrow keys that Jeremy wants, it would also be easy to make the Up-arrow key return you to "home".

I would like to see an "about me" link which tells us a little about you and your photography. In keeping with the spare style of your website, you probably should keep it simple and brief.

It's a nice, clean, effective website and you have some very interesting images.

Eric

P.S. It works fine on Safari, Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Exploiter, too. I do get scroll bars if I reduce the screen size a good bit. This happens first with the second gallery because the first few images are portrait orientation. I wouldn't worry about it.
I just noticed that it shows a different home-page image each time you open the site. Nice touch!
