An appealing set of photos, Stan! Excellent travel photography, IMO: Just a little more editing (both small modifications to some of the cropping and maybe drop a couple of the weaker ones) and some copy about the trip, the places, etc, and you have the makings of a lovely small travel book or

Again, thanks to all for your generous comments. Bob, I must say I would have not thought to compare my images to HCB! Paul and Larry, your comments about style/palate combined with the HCB allusions have got me thinking about what I am doing. I certainly do not have a conscious style or

That's a nice set of photos, and the gallery showing the whole set is nice because it shows how well they all fit together. I can't quite figure out what your style is, but there does seem to be some coherency to it. Perhaps calm composition (calmposition?) and large areas of the photo being

A very nice set of photos. The subjects were obviously chosen carefully, and the framing is excellent. Most intriguing to me is the pallet. The colors displayed in the set just work together so nice, and their beauty is complemented by careful and correct rendering. Well done. Paul > On Feb

A very nice collection! My favorite of these is probably the shot of (I am guessing) Venice - with the busy "river/channel"-street and buildings. This one looks like a classic painting (4659). (The second one, 4474, with the small channel and reflections is also nice) After that, the

Excluding the three images I’ll be submitting to Mark tomorrow, these are my favorites of my own photography for the year. Except that, what I think may be the very best of the group, an action shot of Gianfranco in Venice last summer, was taken not by me but by Meg, not with a Pentax but with
