Hi, got some real nice images. You will need some text within the site to help the SE’s to find you. Not sure on the http://edoardobellotti.com/crinoids.html loading a bit slow in comparison to all the others being real fast loaders. The thumbnails seem to be up around 70/100kb on this page & only 7ish kb on all other pages.

Good luck.

Thank you for your suggestion for crinoids page. I will soon check and try to find the problem. I want put any descriptions for each image when will show large but I do not how.

Very nice photos! I would loose however the 'ENTER' page. It's such a waste of time - just an extra click!

Cheers,

Your site is nice! I do suggest using the light box or gallery functions for your pictures - it will make your site look more professional, user friendly, and appealing... your viewers won't have keep on closing the pop up windows for every picture they want to look at (and many people disable pop ups so the pictures the click on load into a large blank white page with the picture in the top left corner).

Here is an example of the light box feature: http://www.thinkingintrees.com/ring-boxes.html (it takes a bit to load but the effects are what you want to focus on - unless you are happy with the way you have it now).

Also, I would change "fishes" and "shrimps" to the singular form - fish and shrimp are both singular and plural in english. You don't need to add the "s" to make it plural. It's a given.

and you should take the "home" link and make it link into your gallery. It get's annoying going to the home page than clicking back into the site.

Hope this was helpful and not too much! ;)

I agree with the others so far, I would also have each page layout the same. Have your menu bar on each page so the user can simply go from one page to any other without having to go back to the home page everytime. And have them all open in the same window (leave the target area empty). The light box feature would work nicely to view each photo as suggested above.
