Sorry if there are too many, I was getting carried away with the cobwebs.

[pesphoto]

Sorry, but I dont see any photos

[nico]

@ Pesphoto: strange :confused: ... I can see them ... .Very nice set, btw ...

[aliceelizabeth]

oh...err...dear. I do. Can anyone else not see them? We do use the IMG tags in here no?

[pesphoto]

nope....sorry. I just see a single verticle line of dots. Weird.
Maybe I'll try a different browser.

[sinetsin]

I can see them too...great stuff!;)

[pesphoto]

maybe somebody doesnt like me :)

[Robert Price]

Awesome shots!!

[steve garza]

I like your eye!!!

[vrgard]

Nice shots. And they intrigue me as to where you took them. The tree trunk shot looks like South/Central America somewhere and the geodesic dome greenhouse shot looks like it's out of a science fiction movie. Can you share any more details about these?

Thanks,
Randy

[FrankS]

I don't see them either. Only small boxes with red X's.

[aliceelizabeth]

no no, just cornwall. Those two shots are a bit weird...

http://www.edenproject.com/

if you're ever in hte country cornwall really is worth a visit-as is its giant greenhouse.

[pesphoto]

I don't see them either. Only small boxes with red X's.

See! Im not crazy.......

[ibcrewin]

I see them.. Try right clicking the box with the x and click show picture.
Very nice!

[pesphoto]

cant right click on a mac

[like2fiddle]

I like the photos too, especially the ants. Are the cattails upside down?

I'm seeing them ok with PC and Firefox.

cattails! that's it. yes I think they are...I considered rotating but thought it not worth the bother

[dancing wayang]

cant right click on a mac

i think ctrl + click on the mac is the equivalent to right clicking on a pc.

very very nice pictures. i especially like the very first one. i like that it somehow makes you wonder what the story of the pitcure (and its subject) is rather than just admiring the composition.

[Steve Bellayr]

My opinion only. Best photo is the first. Needs a little cropping in the left would make it perfect. I like the ant photos, also. Dog is a little cute. But, if it is your dog then it's a real good keeper. (I say that because people never really capture their own pets well. They tend to be too close. This one is a small dog in a big world.)

[visiondr]

Yup,
Control + Click is the Mac equivalent (you can get a muti-button mouse for Macs as well).

[pesphoto]

I know control + click, but it doesnt allow me to see the photos.


eh, i give up

[shadowfox]

i like the cobweb (photo #8) and the chatting ants. that grd does good macro :)

[pesphoto]

Maybe you could post 'em as thumbnails?

[aliceelizabeth]

Maybe you could post 'em as thumbnails?

how do you do that??

Not my dog, though I had a 'connection' with him i.e. he wanted my coffee cup for some reason.

[Sisyphus]

I can't see them either--I am also using a mac . . .

[aliceelizabeth]

*shrugs* search me. macs for you. That'd scupper their moron add campaign- I highly approved of them until then.

[aliceelizabeth]

p.s. got ten minutes, listen to this man...

very clever bozo, those domes are his.

[JoeFriday]

I see them just fine on my mac using Safari

very nice photos.. excellent tonality and texture in many of them.. my two favorite shots being the dog and the first photo of the ants.. well done :)

[iml]

I'm using Firefox on a Mac, I can see them.

The b&w looks good.

[aliceelizabeth]

a couple more...

(the splodge behind him was his friend, I did not splodge him, but photographed the grieving anyway)

[canonetc]

No. 3 and No. 6 are the best, IMHO. 3: the dog, peoples, and wall make nice composition. Funny and cute.
No. 6, narrow macro view and composition of ants to letters very interesting. Nice stock shots both.

Color images and BW nature shots are a bit busy and uncertain; what are you trying to actually express? Are you just looking for "good shots" or, are you trying to express something? As in, a feeling, a special moment; I need to know (without you writing it out) WHY you are taking these images. Why should I care about them? Why are they important? Or are they only wistful snapshots? Tough questions, but important ones. And believe me most of the time I do not reach the pinnacle either... :)

cheers,
