Couple of things from me
The 2257 link isn't meant for surfers, move it to the bottom.
I don't see any sponsor links on your index page. You've got 3 to use, use them.
And the recips, I don't really like them.
When I was skimming through the site to get to the pics, nothing drew my attention except the thumbs and the gallery links (for some reason the gallery link pics loaded before the top banner).
When people have found the gallery links. On a 800x600, the only thing I see is.... the gallery links. No ads. So to me both the index and main page is wasted.
