Just to add a small but important point regarding depth of field.

Whilst it is true that small formats have greater DOF, they also have a far higher requirement for accurate placement of the sensor/film plane. This is because they have very limited depth of focus this being the amount of leeway available at the sensor/film plane. This was the downfall of the 110 film format, because sufficient precision could not be reliably attained.

Why not post a couple of your favourites to start with? Trying to comment on them all is a bit of a task!

The tiger looks fine on my monitor, possibly a little over-sharpened for my taste but we don't know if that is just the resizing for the web that has caused that. The water is quite an odd colour - is that how it was?

Nice tight crop.

Caveat Emptor means "let the buyer beware" and simply means that the risk is with the buyer. The USA is a long way away and there is a tangible and real risk that a package will go astray or be damaged in transit. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

All buyers should bear this in mind - it applies to all personal sales - so insurance would probably be a good idea. I actually routinely insure items I send on eBay sales, even if the buyer has not asked for it, but over a certain cost it makes sense for both buyer and seller to be protected.

Nothing wrong with your advice, Matt!

I started on Windows 3.1 but was much happier when Windows 95 arrived.

I had one print that turned out so well that I had to repeat it properly in Photoshop. What happened to the print is that one of the colours became blocked, but the effect was totally surreal and I liked it.
