Hi there.

You have some great photography there...

A couple of comments:-

1) I like the flash animation on the front page and how the clicks work on the names that flash up. It's a shame that this isn't used as a navigation method (or maybe that's a plan for the future?)
2) The default for imagevue is for the EXIF information to be displayed when the mouse is on the photo. This is great for photographers, but can be distracting for other users (who don't need to know the EXIF). It is probably best to enable the button for EXIF, but not to show it immediately.
3) You have the thumbnails hidden at the bottom of the screen, which is great for people who know imagevue, but for general users, they may assume you only have one shot per gallery, unless they happen to put the mouse at the bottom of the screen.

It's a great start though.

That's really my wish, but I'm not able to do it yet. I've made it bymyself based on an Open Source .fla file, may in the future we'll see this funtionality in my gallery.

Good pont, I'll hide it from starts automatically.

Another ggod observation. My idea is to generate some curiousity showing only half of the tumbs stream... You is the first that pointed this issue, therefore I'll up the stream a little and let's see. tks

Love your startpage filemod. As mentioned, it would be cool if it linked to independent galleries. To achieve this, you could just add links on them depending on the word ... like:

getURL("#/content/path/");

Nice content also. My personal preference would be to move the thumbnails at bottom upwards. They seem kinda "lost" halfway down there. I think its too much to have them both go invisible and hide vertically.
