Hi,
Very nice site, simple but everthing works.
You have some great work aswell 
If I was to suggest something it would be have to be the picture on the homepage, I think it would look better with a " slideshow" which is simple to create using some CSS.
Hi
My 2p
1) Nice simply presented site.
2) Its pretty quick to load (even over my works lunch time loaded network).
3) Its not passing html validation, although not sure if you're concerned about this or not - check this Linky
4) The design doesn't react to viewing on different devices. On an iphone in portrait mode for example its cramped in to the top half of the screen.
As an aside, I enjoyed looking at your photos
First thought.... the photos are small....
Show them off if you're proud of them, it's almost like you're hiding something with them so dinky
Lets have an email address on the contact page - I've never been a fan of those contact forms as once sent, you don't have a copy of the message
It all seems to work - no dead links
White space... some of the text is a bit outfacing on screen - this for example could have some space in

Is the pic on the home page your best? I'd fish out your best work and put one of those up - that may not be encouraging people to stick around....
You need to click about 3 times to see any photos - once on the menu, then pick a gallery, then open a file.... it's a bit of an effort for a photographer's site... ideally you want a nice big impressive photo straight off to get the viewer interested.
Few ideas there - all of the above can be done in many free Wordpress themes, not sure how Clickpic works really
Thank you all for your comments and taking time to view my website it is very much appreciated.
I would like to reply to Hollkj and Ade_Mcfade the following queries below:

Hi hollkj
Thanks for your comments I appreciate it but I am a bit lost with your point number 3 that it is not passing html validation is this good or bad?I am not website expert and still learning.Cheers Paul
Hi Ade_Mcfade thank you for your constructive comments I ll try my best to answer your comments:

This a problem with clickpic you can only go to a certain size also I worry about people stealing images so I thought this could put people off right clicking.

No problay not, it is a favorite image of mine and I will have a look.

I am aware of this and as mentioned to Hollkj I am not a web designer and still learning and I will take note of this point when I go back to redesigning my site.

What a very welcome and simple site (in the nicest way). I do hate clutter.
Agree re the front page text. Should be broken up into paragraphs to make it easier to read.
It would be nice to scroll a variety of images on the front page too.
Agree about the thumbnails being so small.
Actual pictures should be bigger.
I do like the Previous and Next buttons above the images. Easy to use but perhaps slightly bigger?
Overall, a very nice and easy-to-look-at site. Just everything seems a little on the small side. You've got some excellent pictures so show them off.
