Couple of suggestions:

1) Make the top panel into a slideshow of images from various categories using something like jQuery+cycle

2) Move the links to stockexpert etc to secondary pages (look too much like ads to me)

3) Increase line-height of body text (and possible make more concise)

My 3c...

First thing I would do is turn off directory indexing. As seen here .co.za/img/ and .co.za/images/

I would move the Contact us to it's own page. As it is now if you have the page scrolled all the way to the top and are running 1024x768 res you can not see it open and it looks like a broken link.

You have your 'home' bottom linked to .co.za/index.html where it should be linked to .co.za/

You have a canonicalization issue

I'm lost on how to buy an image.. I scroll the image and it opens to a larger but if I click it I go back to the main page. How do I buy an image? Yes I know I have to go to the other sites to buy your images but I want to point out that those links do look like ads so I did not click them. I was trying to buy an image that appeared below those links. You may want to add a cart of some short to your site so you do not send people away to a place where they may see something better or different and buy it instead.

I'd suggest adding some descriptions of the photos and adding some more web pages, at the moment your online footprint is very small - only 9 cached web pages and a lot of those have very little textual content. Google Images will maybe bring in a bit of traffic, but the lion's share will come when you have enough content and web pages to be seen as authoritative. You also need to build up your inbound links, but content and more webpages are your priority - while inbound links can deteriorate, content is always there and working for you and can be grown and developed. Once you have this, you'll also have more webpages that other sites can link to.

The home page is good since it is content rich, but it can be improved and the internal/ outbound link ratio needs improving:

Website Title: Port Elizabeth Photographer Title Relevancy 100% Meta Description: Port Elizabeth Photographer Michael Sheehan's Portfolio of photographs taken in and around Port Elizabeth Eastern Cape South Africa. Description Relevancy: 88% relevant. SEO Score: 97% Terms: 367 (Unique: 195, Linked: 10) Images: 15 (Alt tags missing: 1) Links: 21 (Internal: 15, Outbound: 6)

Ignore the SEO score on this, the salient points are that you need more unique terms and more linked in terms. 6 outbounds is too many from your homepage and 15 internal is very short of being enough. The long and the short of it is that with more content, more internal links and more web pages, you'll have a much more powerful website from an SEO perspective.
