He’s created another impressive ajax driven theme with a ton of features including a fullscreen gallery, ajax contact form, shortcodes, easy gallery set up and more.

136: SquareGrid – SquareGrid is a responsive theme with an impressive grid-based layout. It has 5 different post layouts so you can display your work the way which bests suits you. SquareGrid includes both dark and light skins in case you want a white background. Each gallery can include video or images or both and each page can include its own custom background image.

137: Think Responsive – a responsive theme designed for photographers or designers that includes an animated portfolio on the homepage where when you click on any of the images the page loads the image inside the same page which is one of the more cooler things designers have done with portfolios IMO. Includes both light and dark skins along with a host of other features that are too impressive to list here.

138: Watt – Watt is a clean theme perfect for photography/design studios wanting to showcase their work in a clean modern way. Includes NIVO slider along with caption support and Filtered Folio and lightbox support. The custom control panel allows you to easily set up this theme in minutes.

139: Wedding Album – Wedding Album as the name suggests is a theme for personal weddings or if you’re a wedding photographer a nice theme to showcase your portfolio. At the forefront of the design is the fullscreen image slider which includes easy thumbnail as well as button navigation. First thing you’ll notice is the music loading and starting to play so that’s a plus for those of you who want music playing in the background of your site. Another cool feature is that you can password protect the entire site or just the galleries for protection against unwanted eyes. With multiple gallery and blog layouts this theme should fill the need of many wedding photographers I think.

140: WP Show Off – Display your portfolio of photos or designs in a clear minimal manner with WP Show Off. Each image on the homepage when clicked will open a lightbox or when you click “Read More” will be taken to another page that includes a nice slideshow in the header. Very minimal, but nice and lessens the distractions which is a nice touch. I think iPhonographers will take a liking to this theme as well.

141: Gleam – Gleam is a new theme from Elegant Themes that is designed to impress.  Gleam was built to dazzle. With its flashy effects and smooth ajax loading techniques, this theme creates a truly unique experience that is sure to grab your visitor’s attention. Allowing for custom full BG photos for each page, Gleam makes it easy to create a custom stunning appearance for each section of your website. The theme also comes with a full-screen portfolio section, giving you a new way to display your work.

Gleam Feature List:

• Opera compatible
• Netscape compatible
• Safari compatible
• WordPress 3.3 compatible
• Ajax Loading
• Threaded Comments
• Optional Blog-style Structure
• Gravatar ready
• Firefox compatible
• IE8 + IE7 + IE6 compatible
• Advertisement Ready
• Widget ready sidebars
• Theme Options Page
• Custom thumbnail images
• PSD files
• Valid XHTML + CSS
• Smooth tabless design

Pricing: Gleam is included in the $69 yearly subscription fee.  Elegant Themes gives you access to over 87 themes for less than $70 a year, IMHO is still the best deal out there as far as what you get for the price.  $69 for unlimited website usage is an amazing deal.

Conclusion:
