I very seldom release any new site for review, -and this one is hardly any 'creation' of my own as I was using a CSSPLAY image-magnifier css (free to use, according to cssplay site). It was mostly a 'copy & paste' thing, but I did have to do some photoediting with PhotoShop to get the images, which are entirely mine.
I did give link back to his site for use of code. Mostly though, I just wanted to share my enjoyment of a favorite hobby: woodcarving. This is an object that I made in about 3-hours one afternoon last summer, and it hangs upon our livingroom wall. And, liking the magnifier code, decided yesterday to throw together a quick little mini-site for showing to friends & family. It seems to work okay on IE and Firefox, and I cite no errors.
I hope you like, -and review it kindly. :)

Nice wood!

Personally I don't find the magnifier that impressive. The roll-over is good and seeing the biggest picture is enough for me. If the magnifier would be used to close-up on the picture it would be more interesting.

... If the magnifier would be used to close-up on the picture it would be more interesting.there is actually just such a thing as cssplay where I borrowed this. A larger picture is divided into equal blocks and, on-hover of the smaller 'whole' image, the 'quadrant boxes' are revealed at several times the size of the thumbnail. -Also nice. I wasn't trying for anything particular here except a media venus to display my woordcarved piece. :D -Glad you liked it. Thanks
