Traveling.be : I love seeing people taking their photography websites to the next level like this one does. The site does a good job of trying to set an emotional tone for the user. Nice usage of the flipbook control. The compass pointing at the mouse is a nice touch.

On the downside the usability could use some work. When I launched into a photo set the first time it took me a few seconds to figure out how to get out of it. I suppose I had to exit the window using the application control bar. Because I couldn’t find any navigation back to the map page. My guess is that the design(s) didn’t want to muck up the design with navigation controls.

It would have been more effective if they had done the photo pages in Flash full-screen mode.

Small nit-pic here but the icons on the map - little green/red balls - could have been better designed. They look out of place. To shiny and modern for the rest of the design.

Share and Enjoy: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.
