    First post in a while. My portfolio.

    Hey everyone!

    I would like to get some critiques of my portfolio. I've been building it for a while and recently my editor did me a favor and made a custom postfolio for me. Let me know any that you really like or don't like or don't think belong. Also, any comments on the layout is appreciated.

    A lot of good work there. I love the light coming through the waves (like the 02 skimboarding shot). You have a good talent for capturing the height of the action.
    On the layout, I'd recommend making the smaller shots the same size as the larger using the packground pattern as in this example to expand them. That would eliminate the distortion seen when switching pics.
    Also, on my screen the writing is tiny and hard to read.

    Hi Ryon,

    Very nice. Having looked at your earlier submissions, you've certainly come along way. Great shots. Thanks for sharing.

    Just take care of the technical "issue" Chunk mentions, and I think your site is good to go...

    Ryon,

    You have some great work there. I especally like the firework shots under experimental, and the people shots as well (espeally the wedding party shot).

    As you go from portrait to landscape, the portrait photo flicks to the landscape size, doubling in the horizontal direction - those stretched images are very distracting and that needs to be fixed.

    The photos are great
