<pre>
I had a look at your web site. (Planetarium). As you stated, it is simple.
The photos are good.
You asked about a different way of presenting the images. I can direct you
to my photography sites where you can see 2 different ways to present.
http://www.stemnet.nf.ca/~blane
http://www.lanephotography.com ..... go to Photography, the galleries ...
chose one of the underlined ones.
I would also like feedback if anyone has time.
