The first thing I noticed when the site loaded was the large picture. Personally, I don't care for it. Maybe something different, like a serene landscape would make it more appealing. The second thing I noticed was the music. Music on some sites is nice, but on most...I don't really care for it. If you set the default music to off, and then had a button to turn the music on, then I think it would be more appealing. Also, change the title of the page. All it says in my browser is "flash."
The bottom font is cool, but a little too stretched up and down. Make it a little easier to see, and it would be more appealing. Have some text on the home page telling the website's purpose. If somebody's looking for a photographer and the first thing they see on your website is "affordable event photography," they're likely to stay and check it out. Likewise, if all they see on the front page is the shot of the face/hands, they're likely to not cruise around looking for info to see if the site is a event photographer. I do realize that there is the words "Photo Portfolio" along the top, but frankly it took me a while to see that. The cityscape is a nice shot along the top.
When on the pages with the pictures, make the top cityscape a little smaller so that the website viewer can see more of the picture in the gallery. The slider bar along the right hand side of the page used for navigating around the pictures is a little too touchy. I think that having your galleries a little bigger would make it more inviting. For instance on
my (primitive) website/photo gallery, I have it designed where you can view the thumbnails and also click on them to view them bigger. If you allowed the website viewer to click on your images, I think it would be easier to look at the quality of the images. Quality not meaning resolution, rather the composition.
One more thing that you could do to keep people at your website is to put some text on the loading screen. If you put something like "David Polsten, event photographer" (or whatever), people (especially with slow internet) would wait and check the site out. Maybe a few of your best images on the loading screen would make it more appealing.
Overall, I love that site...it's amazing. I really like the buttons along the right side of the page, that's something different. Just out of curiosity, how much did it cost you to design that? Smashing website, I wish I could do something like that.
