Dave_b,

My few thoughs:

#London - I am noy sure, even if I like Beatles a lot :)

#Venice - nice shot. Possbily small crop from the bottom (to cut off piece of wall in the middle) would make it more airy

#Salzburg - :D :D :D

#Salzburg2 - hmm, great view, but something doesnt fully work here. I dont know, maybe because it is not 100% horizontal. Or maybe because of high noise and lack of detail. Or maybe lack of contrast in foreground.

#Venice - I will not go to Venice ;-) BTW did they mean you? ;-)

#Paris - original point of view. A bit shame that the was no Sun. And a bit shame that you were to latr to catch golds of this season.

#Paris2 - Well spotted. Would wait there these to bored guy left. Try to control distortion.

#Normany - :D :D :D

#Monte Carlo - Great mood! Would try to cut cars and keep photo more vertical. Now guy is in danfer to fall into Atlantic ;)

#Paris3 - I am not sure here.



Third one is top shot for me. really well done :)

Regards,

K.Polak

Hi there... they are all very nice pictures :D

My favourite being # Salzburg 2 although its lacking a bit of detail (probably from the resizing)

With the Normandy one, ive seen a few similar pictures like that, but the other ones catured the stones on such an angle that it looked like they were "Holding hands"....very nice thought

I like all of them. Abbey Road could have done with a bit more DOF but i get it, i can still read the sign. Great idea well executed.

The Salzburg cottage from the air is brilliant. What a gorgeous pattern with the converging roads.

The others are great in their own rights too.

Great photograhpy and images.

I really like the first one, and the one of the mountain. I think you're going to fit in really well with your new D70. :)

Nice captures - i really like #3 (Salzburg).
As has been said, its a pity the two guys on the right in #7 are there. It would have been a very powerful image with that other guy sitting by himself contemplating the art work. I can imagine myself becoming quite frustrated as a result of wasting hours pretending I was able to clone the guys out in photoshop!

Meerkat,

Actually removing these guys in Photoshop would be easy. Note that they occupy quite regular background. It is really matter of few clever clones and masks :D

thanks a lot everyone, i really appreciate your feedback.

the one of the salzburg cottage was just taken from a hilltop and the one in paris was taken from the eiffle tower. it always pays to look closer than the horizon when you have a view that stretches for miles.

here are some more if anyone's interested
