can't say i liked it much, too fussy, not much visual heirarchy when it comes to viewing detail.
and i hate your preloader.

skt> preloader needs some work. sorta agree

Let me rephrase:
click and grab the page in order to navigate through the images.
The page map in the upper right is only controlled by the embedded tool.

viper_con> click and grab the page in order to navigate through the images should work - ala google maps. is it not for you?
the orange square in the upper right is disabled for now - we plan to turn it on soon.

Click and drag does work - just not too well. The hotspots for the images getting in the way, maybe? Either way, I'd expect a closed hand cursor for the dragging.
Overall, the site is a cool idea. Where are you getting the imagery from? Is it the same as you'd find on other stock sites?
- thanks! for now its aggregated content from lots of stock providers , both RF and microstock.
good point w/ the hand cursor. i think ill do thatfowkswe

Only other thing I would change is the quality of the thumbnails. They seem pretty drab and Lo-res(lo-res=most thumbnails). It would be nice if they had more color saturation in them in order to make the images more interesting to the customer.
- agreed but thats up to the provider of the image.

Don't like, much prefer how sites like Getty work, agree no real heirarchy, which bugs me!!
- fowkswe0
can you suggest a brief hierarchy?
- TheBlueOne0
I actually like the lack of hierarchy...it gives me the sense I'm "browsing" rather than searching...I mean that's a plus & minus..but it's different...
- thats the idea. we want you to 'find' your image, not search for it.fowkswe
- You need to search if you want to find something. No?********

-filtering should be more obvious (labels, columns etc)
-needs a reset to original size/location button like Google Map.
-add rollover label for picture informations and easy access.
