    Wonderful story-telling work once again, Tom. I think #2 & #3 are my faves. I love the style you've acquired. You've taken your work to a whole new level and that's a major accomplishment. clap.gif

    I have 3 suggestions.

    1. Don't tilt.

    2. If you DO decide to tilt, don't tilt too far, it makes it disorienting.

    3. If you decide to tilt far, don't do it the same direction in EVERY photo.

    Good points, and these are the biggest issues in my own self critique on these. I don't always tilt but have been doing it too much lately as I try to loosen up and as it turned out these shots taken within a short time turned out the best ... all tilted and in same direction. Perhaps they work apart better because of this ...

    Although .... this guy broke rules 1 and 2 and i still like the photo ;-)

    Touché. But, you'll notice I only did it once :)

    And ultimately, used a different photo for the front page.

    Don't get me wring though, they're all really good photos. My least favorites are number 1 and the finger shot :)

    I just started experimenting with the tilt myself, and got a littlr carried away sometimes :)

    I like them. And I like the tilt. I think it gives a photo some dynamics or motion.

    True, the problem is they're on the beach, and it looks like they're climbing a mountain.

    And like I said, tilt is fine. Just not every photo
