    Overall it's minimalistic, not leaving too many opportunities to critique. However, a few suggestions...

    The sectional bars are too transparent, give them a little more solidarity. As it is now, they don't draw enough attention, and in minimalism like this, you're going to need something that does. Alternatively you could make the left sides of the bar more solid and have the right fade out.

    Either ditch the parenthesis around the +, use a different font for them, or design them as an image instead of text. As it is now, the parenthesis are just a bit too long vertically for the expand sign. Very minor detail, but again in minimalism, you have to make everything count. :)

    Perhaps try adding a darkening effect in the expanded content area's background, except for the contact area.

    Instead of rounding the image edges in the content (and black stroking them, like it looks like you may do moderately), try surrounding them with a medium thickness, white, hard edged border instead.

    Something strikes me as off for the "Next" and "Previous" buttons. One idea is to instead encapsulate that text in a rounded white box (akin to the logo) and do away with those strange arrows.

    No copyright text ?

    Also, to add a little flare,try having the contact fields darken slightly when focused on. I think the "Portfolio" subtitle would look better all capitalized and maybe, just maybe, shrunk ever so slightly, as well.
