It's a small world. I got the same fwd email from the grandaughter of a friend of mine.
The air sure is clear up there.
l wonder how much more light there must be in the sunshine above our atmosphere? I am curious about what exposure settings they are using? It may be the "sunny 45 and .5 iso rule" in orbit in the sun. I see huge DOF in the shots.
It's enjoyable to see the people and hardware up there doing science, and cooperating across national borders.
In any case the photos are just out of this world : )

Incredible!

Very nice, but I think your friend needs to work on her composition. The subjects are too centered in most of them and there are some distracting shadows. Pretty much low to mid 5's.

I'm just kidding! Don't hang me! Awesomely cool stuff!
