Critique Photo Portfolio Website

I'd be grateful if you could have a look at this and let me know what you think.

The photos are stock images from a free image website. The site is for a fictional photographer and was just for me to build something to learn from.

Thanks.

The image is blurry... aren't you trying to impress people? Get me a crisp clear picture on there!

The website is a bit too wide (try it on 1024x768)... I think if you make it 5-6 pixels less wide it should be fine.

It is a bit too blurry isn't it - it's hard to decide on size over quality with big images.

Maybe if I reduce the size a little I will be able to improve the quality without it getting too big in KB.

Thanks for looking.

edit: have you thought about adding http://themixingbowl.org/ to your music torrent search engine?

First off, on your work page, I really like how you only included a portion of the picture and even twisted the picture a little bit to have another angle, like the picture of the swimmer. I think your banner picture on each page could be a little bit smaller and the text and links a little bit bigger. There were 3 errors in the HTML and 42 errors in the CSS.

Overall, I did like your site.
