Thanks - I think the green colour was taken from a previous release of imagevue and I thought a splash of colour may add a bit more interest to site.
I have one comment for improvement:
You are using a basic header graphic with logo for your background image, and that works very nicely! However, I am on 1680px wide screen, and your graphic is only 1500px wide creating a visible 'glitch' on the left side. I suggest you extend the size of the graphic to 1920 pixels to cover large-resolution monitors. Since you are extending with a black monotone color, file size will not increase notably.
Great - thanks for pointing that out. I guess I hadn't realised how big people's monitprs/resolutions are these days
Another idea, may be to perhaps use a few different thumbnail sizes? For example in the "landscapes" folder, you could create thumbnails with a "wide" aspect (f.ex 150x75) just for style variation. I may be wrong of course, as consistency is a factor also ..
Yeah, I see what you mean - it would work particularly well for landscape shots. About 98% of my shots are shot in landscape orientation so it wouldn't be a huge problem for the few that are shot in portrait orientation. I may give it a shot but will also need to bear in mind the consistency factor you mentioned.
Thanks for the great feedback - very helpful indeed.
