nothing too flashy, very simple but it looks beautiful(:
also very organized and your pictures are lovely
The middle section where all the information is could be made bigger, wouldn't hurt.
Other than that, your blog is awesome!
I love the top part, the logo and picture and that, it's great. Something to spruce up the text part and make it a little less daunting and more inviting to read would be good. Perhaps breaking it up into sections, and/or having more pictures in and around the next. Someone also mentioned a lighter background. I thing keeping the dark colour for the outer part of the site and the top, but right where the text is a lighter background could help.
But it is also beautiful the way it is
Additionally your header images with round edges is framed with small grey lines which don't fit because they are not round.
Text and images look pretty cool.
It looks elegant, but very dark
You could take the colors of your header: whit/grey and some shades of amber brown (like in the text) as thin horizontal stripes.
Or a light amber as background color with some darker accents (not as bright as white/grey so the eyes don't get tired too early)
Also you could make the header a bit bigger and drifting to the sides
and the content wider => example
(than you could also put two pictures side by side, makes the scrolling more easier, or slideshows)
The name on top: making it ".Roeselien Raimond Photography." looks much calmer
on my fox stories: make the thumbnails bigger and correct the linking of them (they open in a new window but show just the picture, nothing more)
in the menu you have "Roeselien Raimond Photography" again: that confused me a lot. I would rename it with something like: "Gallery" or "Archive"
and make it open in a new window/tab (because once in the archive you can't go back to the homepage)
I searched for a home button. while clicking through i wanted to return to the view i first got (with the newes post) it could also be names: newest entry/post or stuff like that
i would also make the space between the links in the menu wider so there's one at the left (would put "About" here or "Home/newest post") one in the center and one in the right (would put "Archive" here)
and if you have the menu on top you don't need it again on the right
one thing I learned today in class: every newspaper uses a font with serif because it is much easier and less stressfull for the eyes to read it. (examples are Georgia, Times new roman etc...)
I hope it'll help
