Looks good. Nav is not too bad.

I don't like the way your top links are half on the blue and half off - it looks accidental.
Your thumbnails aren't copy protected - it may be worth the effort.
Reasonable prices, by the way, and nice variety of images.
Good luck,
CiCi

Nice site, confident and clear. To be picky, I'd close up some of the white space, which may make scrolling unecessary on some page - the top of each page for a start.

Thanks for the comments.
Not sure what you mean by the top links being half on the blue and half off CiCi.
Regarding the thumbs we really didn't see any reason for protecting them as their literally small 150x112 px. If you were thinking of a watermark over it is not worth the trouble, while a no-right-click javascript is useless for a Print Screen :)
Regarding the white space on top, Paul, you'd really have to be picky to notice it or to bother you :D . However, the web site was designed with future modifications in mind and the top header would be really easy to change at any point in time if the demand is high.

We appreciate your comments and hope to have more coming over.

We are also thinking of starting a promotional contest each month on our discussion forum in order to attract more users. We were thinking of having a monthly contest for active users which are required to have at least 10 images uploaded to the db and 20 posts/month in our forum. The prizes could range from digital cameras to cash. Let me know what you think of this.

I meant the links under the icons at the very top look a little funny because the blue ribbon runs through the bottom half. I just thought they would look better either on it or above it instead of in between.
And I guess if someone really wanted to copy your thumbnails, you're right, they would be of limited use, so it would be a lot of trouble to watermark them all.
If you think Paul and I are being picky, it's just because you have a great site. There's not much to fix! :)

The digital images.com is a bit small. initially it just looks like BUY, just a suggestion.

Other than that clean and easy!

The word BUY is used as a psychological factor. And we wanted to emphasize more on that :)
However if that proves to be annoying I guess it could be changed easily.

Let me know what you guys think of the idea of having a monthly contest on the discussion forum.

Do you think is a good marketing strategy ??
Has anyone ever used something like that?; in order to attract more users interested in one specific field.

The website itself gets a decent amount of traffic and a lot of users have signed up. However, they seem reluctant to spend more time in posting on the discussion forum.

Let me know if you have any ideas/thoughts.
