Thanks.  Though 006 is the one with the cormy.

There's the rub, They all look to be of about equal quality to me, I tried to 
narrow it down to the best one or two of each type. I don't see what makes one 
better than the others.  Which is why I so much appreciate more detailed 
critique. A few of the photos have people, or birds, doing something, which I 
think makes the photo more interesting, it's not just of a pretty place, but 
it's of something happening at a pretty place. That's why I posted 022 as the 
PESO, because I found it amusing to see all these other guys out there taking 
pretty much the same photo as each other, which was pretty much the same photo 
as 006 or 151.

I joke a lot about cliche, but I am not ashamed to occasionally indulge in it.  
It is cliche for a reason. There are some photographers, like my mom, who 
seemed to only photograph sunsets at the beach.

Thank you again.
