So by allowing one to download a small resolution sample of your photo you increase a lot of chance of exposure, specially today with so many blogs posting inspirational photos and more. Thank you for your comment, stick around! Hey Nate,

I agree with Robin that it's nice to see your detailed analysis of each site, rather than just another "Top 10" list. However, I don't agree with the belief that because you can't download the images, it's a "con". This is simply to protect the work of the artists, and keep people from unlawfully taking their work. I know most people wouldn't do this, but there are those few dishonest ones! (Great blog too! I'm bookmarking and adding it to my list of favorites on my blog!) Excellent post!

Really appreciate that you've taken the time to go beyond merely a showcase of other websites, and undertaken a genuine analysis of the site design. When it comes to portfolio sites, the focus is understandably on photography and art sites. What do you think are the differences between these types of portfolio sites and those that are intended to showcase the work of a web designer? Outstanding article.
