My immediate reactions (using IE6):
Nice layout. Great models. Just a few buts (IMO):
The thumbs are distorted, looks like the height/width ratio got lost when

I really want to look closer on a model or not. I think the thumbs page
would be better with larger thumbs, and maybe even some text on each one?

Well, that’s because that is exactly what we did. Jon wanted small, square
thumbs. Since they were so small we figured the distortion wouldn’t be that bad,
compared to simply clipping the image. (This is all automatic of course. So
cropping on a per image basis isn’t a possibiliy.) You’re the second person to
mention this, so do you think it is that noticeable? Are there any certian
thumbs that show this clearly?
