Mike :) well done! 2000 that's very good !!
About your site .... a few comments that I believe will make it better. Try to avoid that blue text especially underneath the thumbnails. Make the text on the right a bit smaller ... white on black uhm not sure, try to make the background really dark grey instead of pitch black, it will look better.
If you decide to do this, some frames around the photos in black would look good too. ( I mean like a 1px line).
Also the thumbs on the second page I believe to be of higher quality and more insteresting so it would be nice if you show them off right on the first page.
This are just some suggestions hope it helps, feel free to ask anything else :) via PM.
Nice one ;)

Hi Mike, congratulations on the 2K, I am about 750 DL's behind you, so watch out!
With regards to the web pages.
I Had problems with the connections. Both pages gave me a server error on the first try.
I agree with Andresr. The blue text is very hard to read.
Navigation is OK, though I had to look pretty hard for where I could see page 2. I first clicked on the next image button.
Maybe a page frame around the thumbs with the first prev next last or PG 1, 2, 3 then at the top and bottom.
But still pretty good.

Thank you one and all for the nice comments
Thank you Akiwi & Andser for the suggestions on my site to be.
I like these ideas and will try to impliment them into it.
I appreciate the feed back.
Keep uploading great stock photos SS would not be as successfull as it is without US the Photographers (i guess thats makes sence)
If I can reach over 2007 (as of right now) I know others can too!
Now go take some great pics!
Mike
