Wow, Doug, these are great! Okay, now for my unprofessional opinion. ;) #1 is a great natural design, but I'm not sure about for the gallery...I think maybe the white bothers me a bit.... #2 has a great tone and pov. I don't see where it's typical at all.... #3 is awsome! I love it. Beautiful dof and pov. #4 I like a lot. Of course I'm a bit biased when it comes to pianos....I have played since I was 6 so I love the piano with that tone and dof. #5 is a bit too misty....I still like it, but compared to the others....maybe not for the gallery. #6 the bird isn't as clear as it could be. But it is a great capture....birds are hard. #7 is a beautiful duck and great pose....but as said before, not as good as the others. #8...OMG Doug, I can't believe you haven't put this one in the gallery! I don't see it as being washed out at all. I LOVE that one! The web is so clear with all those drops on it. That one needs to be uploaded. :) Okay, now that I babbled enough.....one more thing. These are all great photos and well presented. I would love to have some like these in my gallery. If I had to choose favorites, they would be the piano, the lock and definately the web. This is a great idea...maybe I will look through my left overs and see if anything is worthy of a second look. :)
