Here's a link of the first 86 I have processed so far. Such tedious work. I've been at it for over 12 hours.

You can use this open viewer to see the pics, but that site has some ads for porn.

I'd have to say my fav is the Musee D'Orsay also. But the others are just fantastic aswell!

I had a very quick look through some of your ones in the gallery, and they are nothing short of brilliant! Felt like I was really there! You have captured the essence of what each unique place in Europe is about. Well done. You should be proud...these are works of art IMHO!

These have a very professional feel about them. I like. Venice is good but Arc de Triumphe is splendid as well. They are all extremely good, look like the kind of prints that are in Print SHops and poster shops etc. Someone here spoke once of selling his pics to a framer. These I think would look quite good in a framing shop.

Wow thanks for all the fantastic comments all!! I really didn't know what to expect from the photos, since, I didn't bring my laptop with me on the trip. I will post another link for some more, once I PP them. Glad everyone has enjoyed them so far.

I forgot to mention this one is my top 5 fav:

Although, for some reason, I vaguely remember taking this shot.... :lol:

It's not the paper ...

For me it's Venice; we're in the throes of planning our trip there for later this year; looks like a few days in Venezia, then back to Frankfurt where we'll pick up a car and motor our way up the Rhine, into the Benelux countries, and then loop through the provence of Champagne before coming back.

Probably head to EU via LAX, and back through SFO, but nothing is as yet set in stone.

What an eye. Love the composition in every one. My fav is the first one featuring the spiral staircase. Pure talent exudes in each piece.

Nice photos :D

Did the italians finally removed all the graffiti at the coliseum? When I was there in 2002 there was quite a lot of graffiti. Quite sad that people would deface such a national treasure.

Don't like the poles sticking up in the Venice shot, love the Musee D'Orsay, in fact, like them all, brings back some memories from last November.

My god. What an awesome collection of pics. Of those posted here Musee D'Orsay is the standout for me from a brilliant bunch. It's time for bed, but in the AM I'll have to look at the rest. Makes me realise how much I have to learn :cry:

I am another Venice lover, having been there many times, and your shot brings back the memories - thanks Neeper - and all of the others are great as well.
