Re: PESO: son in backyard

I really like the first one Vic. He's a happy looking youngster. I thinks it's more likely that it's the different light quality, rather than the lens (although it is possible it's having some affect). BTW, both of those shots are very pixelated, try lowering the compression settings. Dave S O

That's a impressive pano for hand held. Whenever I try it the end result is all over the place. Pretty town. Very nice. Dave On 9/18/05, Mark Roberts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 5-shot stitched pano taken from the top of the tower in the crumbling > ruin of Montrichard Chateau on the river Cher

Re: PESO: Portrait of Leah

As an exercise in "Photo Painting" it's very good. But it's turned a natural beauty into plastic caricature. I'm not surprised she liked it. The technique is popular for a reason :-) Dave BTW Leah has a beautiful smile. On 9/19/05, Fred Widall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://www.flickr.com/
