As a photographer, I nit-pick on pictures that I see, so please do not get offended on the critique I give.

On your home page - when positioning the photos on your page, try to avoid have the vehicles pointing to the edge of the screen to nowhere. Have them point to the middle of the page. The second photo looks odd / half cut off. If you had someone standing at the edge of the limousine, it would probably work better. But the way the photograph is now, it doesn't work well.

I personally love when limousine sites use actual photographs of their fleet, and not just use photographs supplied by the coachbuilder. So I was quite disappointed when I actually clicked on the fleet section and saw photos from Lincoln and Tiffany (of course with the exception of the photos on the bottom of the page that I assume to be photos that you took). You took the time to take photographs of you fleet for the rest of your site – continue on for the remaining pages of your site.

On your Packages page – the photo of your limousine has extreme lens flare. Try to avoid taking pictures in the direct sunlight and use your lens hood. Outside pictures taken in the morning or late afternoon provide the best light effect than in the mid-afternoon with the direct sunlight. Pictures also look better if it is a little cloudy (so you don't have the direct sun reflecting off the vehicle). I have enclosed a photo I took right before a thunderstorm – I like the effect of the clouds in the background. And if you also don't like the refection off your vehicle's windows, you can also use a polarizing filter on your camera to avoid all reflections (it will also make your sky look bluer, and who doesn't like that).

You have your text as images on most of your pages, either in part or all. I point these out here as you you just may not realize this as your editor may be letting you edit it like text, but the page it is making is putting half of it out as images.

[Edited: removed links to images since they are now fixed]

Black cars are a bitch to keep, and after a few waxings, the streaks and swirls really show.

That is a great pic of your black stretch in front of the vineyards, but the car would look ten times better without that direct high angle sunlight highlighting every swirl.

The shot of the front of the limo is a great example of this, not a swril to be seen.

Its pretty OK for a starter.

the only text that is an image of text is the links on the left. that way i can make spiffy buttons instead of plain text navigation bars.

Just curious, why do you have some text as actual text, and some text as an image of text???
