not sure about the angle you chose. I don't love borders on pictures...I usually find them a bit distracting, and this is no exception. with the angles in the photo and the angles in the border, I find myself wanteing to tilt my head. (in fact...I'm tilting it right now as I type). I don't know how else to do it, but that's my initial impression. It's refreshing though, especially after 260 pics or so. good idea. Pedro

the post adds a nice bit of character to this. I took about a thousand building shots and didn't get one I liked. nice job.

hard to know where to focus on these shots. using a short lens (or wide angle) would help. it just looks a little soft to me. I like how ou tried to match up the horizons. good shot.

fantastic clarity...impressive for under 150kb. a couple of hot spots from the overhead lighting, but not too bad. I like it

I don't usually like borders, but you did this one very well. Unlike a thread I just read, my opinion is that you CAN ruin a nice pic with a bad border. The only thing I'd change about this (and this is reeeeeally being nit-picky) is the crop at the top. My personal taste would have left either more or less of the title of the book showing. The box around the title disappears off-angle, and then shows up again in corner, and throws the balance off a bit. I like the lighting and shadows..even the flare on the glasses; which technically we're supposed to avoid, aren't we? :) very nice composition, John...er..whoever you are. (nice that the authors kept the press plates from their book...was that Dad and Grandpa who wrote that?)

careful. Gin'll make you go blind. Although that shouldn't apply to Tanqueray...it's like mother's milk.

the lighting is a little flat for my taste, but I like it. It's no blue glass head, mind you, but the idea is the same.
