I like these pictures but I think another visit in better weather would do them much more justice. In color, I think these would come alive, as does most of your photography I've seen here. This place looks so quaint, I would revisit in a heartbeat.

I guess I'll be the lone detractor here and say that this isn't one of my fave ocean shots. The lighting doesn't bother me - in fact it makes it look moonlit, if not for the wisp of cloud visible. It's the lack of context. There's nothing there that gives you a true feel for the power and immensity that is surely present. Yes, it's a roiling sea, but it fills so much of the frame that it loses something. There's a snip of a boat, but I feel that more of the boat would help with context. Or a shoreline, or more of that mountain in the background, or..... just something to relate it to.

Good light on the wood carving.

Tiananmen Square - the pic that screams "Human Will"

Have to agree with the baker on this one.

When I first look at it, I see the windows. Then the two diagonals draw my eye down. I don't think it does justice to the architectural interest at the top of the building.

But it looks like a very lovely town.

I can't get over how much he looks like a monkey!

Anybody see a Pentax in there?

While I was downtown, a trolley car slowed down on the street right in front of me. Still moving, I hopped on the back step, held on with one hand and took the shot with the other hand. In color, there's a bright orange panel in front, so that had to go.

I feel the pic is a bit claustrophobic. And maybe a little uninteresting. C&C on this one please.

Vintage postcards -- exactly what I thought too. I like it, with this subject matter.
