Hello.
What a nice and creative site.
To make it look better, use the background in the top frame in the bottom frame too.
the blue text on the menu doesnt look good, the blue, doesnt have anything else to compliment, so I think you should change the blue text to white.
You did the navigiation part good though, it works fine in IE5.
Nice job.

Looks really nice! Now, I'm having some problems using the site but it could be just me (for some reason my computer does weird things sometimes - I'm using IE 5.0 BTW). Like the pages don't scroll at all and some of the content is getting cut off at the bottom of the screen. When I try it in netscape, the bottom frame doesn't show up at all!! Weird..
I like the menu, but I wish it didn't have to cover up your nice logo. Could it go down the side maybe?
Overall I think the design is very nice, but the graphics inside each of the pages don't seem to coordinate well with the rest of the design. The main design has a brown/orange colour scheme, but a the graphics on individual graphics start introducing cool colours. It just looks cluttered sometimes.
Honestly, what I would do is get rid of a lot of those graphics in there and go with plain text. I'm feeling rather confused in here. If the design was more streamlined, I think it might be easier for people to use the site. The "Fun with Photos" section is particularly confusing. I think that there should be more explanation of what "Fun with Photos" means, what you can do on the site and how to do it. I was kind of surprised when I clicked on a link and all of a sudden got an order form. (it explains it, but on the right side where people aren't as likely to look). In general, I don't think that the design is as straightforward as it could be from a usability perspective. You're trying a lot of neat effects, which is good, but I think that if it's necessary to explain something to your visitors, there's probably something wrong with the design.
You've got a heck of a lot of imgaes on here - the site seems to be loading quite quickly for me (I'm on a T1 line here) but you should definitely make sure that it doesn't take too long on a dial-up.
Whoah! The "Camera" page is doing really wacky things on here!
It seems like you're trying to cram a lot of info onto one page. Like on the contact page, the contact form is butting right up against the photograph there - there should be some white space in there somewhere.
Enough? I really like the overall design, as I said. It makes me feel like I'm in an actual camera shop.
