Why remove any?
All of those are very good.
Maybe categorise them and limit your self to a certain number of categories.
Will you be using this to promote your photographic tours in Australia?

I have just added more categories and yes I will be advertising and offering tours from my website, I am in the process of designing that page.

this is just my opinion.

1-logo needs to be more prominent/larger. more the center of the website. front page needs some centering. all the media stuff at the bottom and the logo and other texts need a tidying up. you have smith wedding twice on their gallery page.
2-not liking the font. needs to be more stylish. doesnt have to be very fancy but looks like a regular basic tahoma
3-in your photos page the tiles seems a little outdated. how about longish rectangles side by side (minimal space between them) with the sections under.
4- im a big fan of efficient websites. the less I have to click to get to the work the better. I like websites that lets me hover over weddings and then will give me a preview to different weddings that I can click into. I dont like clicking on weddings then clicking on a specific wedding. if it was flash it would be very fast, but html needs to be more efficient.
5-the gallery for the wedding is very nice. I love it when the arrow stays in the same place regardless of the picture size/orientation and I can click and go through them quickly. some might say, but I want the couple to stay longer. my take on that is, if they like your work they dont need to see more than 20 pictures to know if they like your work or not. its as simple as that. if the photogs work sucks or not their taste you dont need 100 pictures to figure this out. 20 pics is enough. couples have tons of things they need to do and I know from experience dont have patience to go through so many website to find a photographer. there is a limit till someone is fed up and closes the website. so keeping a coule longer is not the right mindset. it has to be clear concise efficient. not that yours isnt. trying trying to make a point about the great gallery and how fast you can go through the pics.
6-abn is your business number? I would put that on my ME PAGE.

I will be re-doing the logo as the business name is 'Territory Photography Adventures' my trading name is Scott H Murray.
Smith wedding shows up once for me?

Will be working on the font

I am limited to my layout.

This is the only current way I know to do this with this set-up

placement is a personal preference but Id center in over the gallery.

the font will make a big change.


What about making the various section somewhere on the home page? I have to press 3 clicks to get to the smith wedding. we all know people have no patience for endless clicking. if its flash it would be fast but HTML needs to constantly load each page. up to you. what about "gallery" instead of my photos? when I see "my photos", amateur seems to be the thing that comes to mind.

Love your photos Scott. Where did you get the shots of the King Cheetah? They're stunning looking creatures!

p.s. I have no idea about website design so I'll leave the critique to others :)

I got the king cheetah at Tshukudu game reserve in Hoedspruit South Africa.

cheetahs in australia?
Umm no, if you looked at my albums you would see the titles...

And my intro states.

The World through my eyes.

My aim is to showcase to others the wonders of what the world has to offer. The variety of photography and images captured range from Landscapes in Australia and the world, candid's of children as far away as Africa, and to the Wildlife across the globe which consists of large Elephants to the smallest of spiders.
I hope you enjoy my site and the unique views that I enjoy sharing.
