I like your plan. Either that or move your purchase button in between the picture and the story. It's probably cleaner the way your suggesting. The faster and easier that they can find the purchase button the better off you are IMO.

Heavenly Eye presented much better framed imo. I hope you add that feature to all of your pics. Also.............I really like reading the stories.......maybe you could just put one sentence on the first page and have something like - ..........rest - and then link to a separate page, or would that be more money and was also thinking what else would be on that page (too bad you can't sell the book that contain the quotes.) I've never paid for a web site so don't know if you pay by the page or link or word or????? I've seen purchase buttons on both the bottom and the sides. I'd have him show you examples of different locations he can move it to and pick the best if I were you.

Esthetically, I like the layout without the story best (the second, middle link), but I accidentally found that by clicking on the scrolling bar at the bottom that I could get the layout with the story. The stories are very appealing, so perhaps you present them as an option, say with another button that says "See the Story" and opens up the alternative view. I'm stunned by the artistry in your photographs. There's so much difference between a picture like I would take and what you are doing.

I like the first link - with the story. But possibly more the Next button higher? Gorgeous photos!

I like the stories too and would keep them even though it could be said it looks cleaner without them. I don't mind scrolling - have to do it with almost everything now. I think the "See it framed" option should be there for all of them, possibly with options for different types of frames and frame colors. Some people have a talent for understanding how a photograph should be framed. I'm not one of those types and would like to see options. You don't find out what the sizes available are until you press the purchase button. It's not stressed that they are limited editions - again the info is only on the purchase button. Maybe put a little note after the stories. Is it possible to make the images a little larger? I understand the constraints on web pages but there's details that get missed. I'll echo everyone else with the "beautiful photographs" comments. Stunning.
