Quick comment - your thumbnails linking to the galleries on the front page
appear to be the full-sized images but simply displayed small. Even with
broadband your front page was slow to download. (I try to keep my thumbnails
to less than 5 kilobytes).
Then the galleries themselves showed the photos smaller than they were in a
similar way, but without a link so that they could be seen at full size. So
the viewer has to download full sized images but can only see small versions
of them. I had to by-pass the trap on right-click in order to see them as they
should be seen. It was worth it - I enjoyed the full sized pictures.
Another comment (sorry to appear picky!) - there is no "alt" text in the
images. This may not matter for your purposes, but it would stop a reader
being able to speak what the picture was about, and I believe will make it
hard for Google to index it in its image engine.
Here is a general question, not just for you. Is there any value in try to
stop people doing "Save picture as ..." for web sized pictures? What is the
market for web sized pictures? My assumption has been that, although mis-use
of them is still breach of copyright and stealing, there is little real loss
to me. The real money is surely in selling pre-web versions, for example a
multi-megapixel version instead of the one-third megapixel (or less) web
version?
