I have a Canon S45 and have a collection of nature and landscape
photographs I have taken while on vacation and around my home town. My
website Nature and Landscape Photography by John Solimine is located at
http://digitalpix.ca Please feel free to take a look and provide me
with any feedback. I am relatively new to photography so I'd appreciate
any comments.

Thanks for your time,

John Solimine

Maybe its just me, and I realize why one would want to protect their
work, but the "digital proof" seems too obtrusive. I looked at a few
pictures, and found myself focusing on the text.

Personally, I'd put my name and contact info in tiny print at the
bottom and hope others liked my work enough to right click..save.
Doesn't the small image size limit what can be done with it anyway?

Ditto. Something a little less intrusive would be nice. Or nothing at all.
IMO the images are very nice, but at this high level of compression and
small size it's not like people are going to be stealing them to print 20x30
inch prints for their living room wall. :)

I actually have been thinking the same thing recently. Thanks for the
push :) I will remove that in the near future. Take care.

Your thumbnails for the galleries are WAY too small. Triple their size AT
LEAST. Lose the "digital proof" either in position or size as it really
obscures the photo and detracts from focussing on the shot. Your pics have
no real impact or wow factor and everything is too central and many have a
lack of real nice colour about them, ie. they're boring and not easily
saleable. Sorry to be so harsh, but if you really want to sell your stuff it
has to be not just ok, but great! I noticed on your landscapes where there
is water, there is too much water in the foreground for my liking. In the
shot of the duck in the pond, the duck is in the centre and it is small, get
yourself a good telephoto and close in on the subject. Buy a book by John
Shaw on nature/landscape/macro/wildlife photography from Amazon.com. His
books are an inspiration to me to do better and have taught me heaps. Your
website in general is not too bad as it is simple to look at and easy to
find stuff, so at least you've done ok with those skills, a big plus!
Good luck for your future photography ventures.

I took a bit more of a look. Some pics are indeed good and not overly
centralised. I still think you have a little bit too much plain foreground
at times, and not just water.
