This is interesting as a gallery theme but I don't like presentation display layouts that don't fit a specific Internet Explorer style window area eg about 770x410 pixels. I also don't like the way a separate image URL presents the image but with a top left and left white margin space. For these reasons, I set up this demo which should work for PC and set top box users. PC users can press the F11 key to increase the screen height and F11 to reset it back to normal when finished.

The Fantasy Art galleries are just demos but the webpages themselves can be customised to point to your webhosting storage for your pictures providing the webhost permits direct access to images, as some don't permit this. I upload using Core FTP to either the freeola.net websites or to the supanet.com websites. Freeola offers unlimited webspace.
Click on the Michael Bridges Gallery links to load up the table of thumbnail images. These were uploaded, too. Click the first thumbnail images so the fullscreen webpage and its image loads up. These have been edited and enhanced then compressed to 80% jpg quality so they should load quickly even for set top box users and those on slow dialup access.
These slideshows are based on a click-a-pic style to access the next webpage and its image.
IF YOU LIKE THIS FULLSCREEN PRESENTATION, then you could grant me copyright permission to create gallery demos for you and host them on my website for you. Obviously you could then customise the webpages and host the images on your websites at a later time. Failing full approval for the demo, I will create just 2 images and their webpages based on your existing image URLs just for your reference to help you assess whether there is potential in it for you or not.
On the Michael Bridges webpages you'll see links to
http://www.slide.com as they provide jazzy slideshows you might like to test, too. Michael Bridges sells his artwork on Ebay so I bought some and helped promote his artwork after he gave me permission to showcase his talents online.
Other artists were sharing their work on copyright free CD-ROMS I got from Ebay.
Visit the galleries and imagine what the images look like on a 28" TV screen at home...
I will provide 2 demo click-a-pic webpages for you soon...
For Demo Purposes Only, copyright belongs to the original photographer, all rights reserved is the sort of message that can be displayed using the ALT tag in the html webpages...

Click when the image loads and remember PC users can try the F11 key to increase the screen height for these demos...
Click image so it loads the second demo webpage and its image:
http://www.fantasyart.ukartists.com/jw02.html
Click this new image and it links to your first photo gallery.
Do you wish me to create the rest of these images as photo gallery demos and to store these as "copyright-permission-granted" images on my website?
If not, I'll delete the originals from my website and ask you to check out the
http://www.slide.com website to see if that can help promote your photos online.
By using websites like these to host your images you also permit them to use your images to be sent by email and to let others buy copies of your images and for extra products. If that's what you want then you've already lost some measure of control on who uses your images...
My gallery!
