I found this to be a fascinating set – not at all typical of travel pics and certainly not narcissistic. There is something profound about the pairings. I found myself looking for the linkage, and I was disappointed when the slide show concluded. The only two that I would eliminate are the forest and the lake. They just don't fit. Love the shot of the crowd, where only one man in the rear is in focus. My eye immediately searched for the point of focus, and its discovery was rewarding and interesting in that the subject was looking back at me. Well done. Paul
