maybe it's just me, but having so many photos on the first page is a bit overwhelming and also makes the page slow to load. it prompted a memory warning on my PC as the page tried to load everything. you have some lovely shots though.

Sorry Joseph but I couldn't get a single image to load at all .

I know that my computer is a bit on the old side now but I don't have any problems else where .

I found it slow, both at home and at work, so I know it is not my connection or computer. Also a mix of Windows and Mac.

Too slow, with no indication that anything was happening. I gave up without seeing anything. A site for the dedicated, not for the casual viewer. You'd have to positively need to view to do so. I may have a slow broadband connection and limited patience though....

Make it eye catching if you want people in the industry to notice you but not to the point that it`s overwhelming or boring so industry professionals think "Oh they can be bothered to impress"

But saying that as the saying goes one mans junk is another mans treasure.

Most of all don`t drown viewers with multiple images
keep them guessing & wanting more.
Some will love it others wont
but the most important thing is YOU
as long as you know you have put love & passion into your work the negative comments are not important.
Good luck

Slow loading and too many shots on the home page. Try and focus on key shots for home page and less of them to give more impact. Your shots are great but just now set out correctly for a website. Are you using a CMS or just coding HTML yourself? If you do want to keep as many images loading on the one page then you need to try and reduce the file sizes a bit more or get a better hosting package to accommodate. With mobile and tablet browsing rapidly increasing your site would be pretty much inaccessible by these devices as it would take an age to load and most people don't bother waiting.
