Your photos are awesome.

The site is generally very attractive. However, there are a few things that need cleanup.

I'm using Safari. I'm sure it looks different in internet explorer, chrome & firefox. That's the unfortunate nature of web design.

First up, on your home page, there is a ton of empty space above the "Portfolio", "Galleries", "About", "Contact" menu. It looks like you are vertically centering the left column with the right column, which isn't a good idea cause the right column is so big.

On every page except the home page the title wraps if the window gets narrow. You need to adjust the minimum width of the page so that it scrolls before the title wraps.

Every page except the home page has a menu that says "Home", "Galleries", "Contact". But if you click "Home" it takes you to the Portfolio page (which seems to be a gallery within the galleries page).

The url of your galleries page says something about france.

On your contact page, your address is listed as "WA". If you don't want to put your address on the home page, fine, but don't put an Address line. (If you work out of your home and you don't want your home address on the web then you might consider getting a PO box.)
Also on the contact page, for some reason "E-mail" says "send a message" and if you click it the email address is revealed. Then you need to click again to activate the "mailto" link. Why the double step?
Again on the contact page, why is there a link back to the site under "webpage"? We are already at that webpage.

A few minor tweaks will really improve your site.

And again, your images are awesome. Congratulations.

-Matt

Nice site indeed and excellent shots
Q if you don't mind me asking who did your site design
I am looking for a html5 site but lately I am settling on
a complete flash site for more wow factor
