To my ( novice ) eye, that looks grand!

If you shoot landscapes, the best piece of advice I can give you: Use a Tripod ! And a good one. It slows you down, let's you think over composition, always gives you the best possible sharpness. Slow shutter speeds won't affect sharpness anymore. Basically takes care of everything you want to wright on that backside sticker you mentioned
Seriously, Buy a good tripod and your photo's will improve a lot. A good tripod is the best investment you can make, after a camera and a lens.
And use the kids to your advantage. ( they can carry it )
Martin.
My camera is an istDL.
As for the kids ... good idea

If that means hand held, then yes. But I do try to get myself into a position with extra support, leaning against a wall / tree etc.
I'm generally out with the kids, so getting set up with a tripod etc just wouldn't work.
Why do you ask?

I'm going to put a sticker on the back of my camera saying ATTENTION TO DETAIL!!
I like your tweaks Lilly. I think I might have to put the camera away and start practicing with software. All I did was play about with contrast and brightness. I haven't had time to sit down and start using layers properly. I had a quick go a week or so ago, but couldn't make them do what I wanted.
Oh, and be as blunt as you want with the C&C. I really am very new to this and if I'm making stupid mistakes I'd rather be told so I can learn.

We didn't do too bad with the weather, Saturday was great, but when this all rolled in on Sunday I thought "here we go ".

C&C please.

Rich colours but still a bit too holiday snap'ish for me. How about a close up of an arch, or tower . . .
BTW: Portmeirion is spelled in one word.
I don't suppose you saw No. 6 whilst you were there, he's gone missing.

Let me know what you think.
I really tried to steer clear of the "holiday snap" look and tried to think about what I was shooting. Feel free to tell me if I succeeded.

I read somewhere that if we burned all the oil reserves known about (never mind those not discovered yet) then the pollution from that would in fact see us all off the planet anyway. The point being that we can't use up all the oil anyway...

Beautiful shots i particularly like No2.
I often wonder how you fit so many people into such a small country and still have all that wide open space
