REVIEW:
Photography art gallery: If thine eye offend thee

Mads Pedersen, submitted this site for review saying:
This is a gallery of photographic art in b/w as well as colour. There is also an exhibition of digital imagery. Some exhibitions are open for entries from visiting photographers

* Reviewer says:

I found a beautifully done photo gallery. I liked the pop up window to show the larger version of the image and included an email link. The navigation and graphics were great, easily understood and did not overwhelm the content.
__ The first page seemed a bit too full and the images got lost. The secondary gallery page's thumbnails seemed crowded also.
__ On my Mac, some of the type was too small to read (secondary gallery page, bio page). Loaded fairly quickly on my slower setup (Performa 6400/180 PPC, 28.8 modem, OS 7.6.1) Overall, a very nicely done photo gallery.

* WD&R Comments: Thank you Martha. We weren't quite as alerted by the "fullness" of the pages, however on smaller monitors this will be a problem for "eye" ... we test on 15", 17", and 20" monitors.
__ Our observations suggest that perhaps site owners could look carefully at the types, styles and subjects of the images and ask if the reader would be more comfortable with less content per page, and more pages. Just an observation.
__ We enjoyed seeing a number of the images, and think most people in the visual arts will find something memorable in this site.
