gallery review please
 

OK, I was rejected by a couple of tgp's stating that the quality of my gallery was poor. So please help me out here and rip this one apart and let me know what I should have done different ?? Thanks.

All I can think of are the clickable thumbnail look-alikes at the bottom leading to a sponsor. Doesn't look poor though, even looks very good...

Oh, and the thumbnails look a wee bit unsharp.

Yep the blind thumbs at the bottom should be it. Looks very great though.

Q.

Yeah.. rejected you since the images at the bottom look like thumbs but link to a site..

Cute design though..

Oh and some don't like the onmouseover thing

Pretty nice gallery. Like the others already said. More than likely, it's to do with the thumbs at the bottom. And punkworld makes a good point about your thumbs needing to be a little sharper.

so dropping the link on the bottom banner should do it, along with sharper thumbs ?? Anything else ?? Thanks !!

Those fuzzy thumbs hurt your page. A TGP that posts galleries ranked on score will knock you down from a 7 to a 5, and you might not make the update. And the bottom ad is a no-no. If you unlink the thumbs, it still might be too much. Better to have a nice big link that says ENTER TEEN FLOOD or some shit like that. Some reviewers might count each word as an outgoing link.

Overall, I like this page. It's nice to see a good blend of graphical work combined with sales pitch. Too often you see a pretty gallery that can't sell water in the desert.

Well, I found it loaded very slowly here, and I am on DSL. But that could just be that your server was extremely busy when I looked at it. The thumbs are very fuzzy, more than they should be I think. The site does look nice overall though, but the thumbs are bad.

To fix the bottom banner problem, you already have the Polaroid look above on the page, just do the same with the bottom pictures. Make it look like 3 polaroids laid out, instead of thumbnails.

Good luck bud!

Well I went in and re-did the thumbs, but I'm not seeing that much of an improvement :( I also took off the width tag which was stretching some of the thumbs a bit since some were 109 and some were 105 in size :) Do the thumbs look better now, or do I need to go back and clean them up more ?? I really do appreciate all the help guys !!!
