Hi Dick
Listen to me because I'm the older and wiser brother! ;-) :-)

I like all 3 pictures, but what I'm more impressed with is.... "your 
technical handling in holding the camera!" Given you've only used the 15mm 
lens a short period of time it appears you've got the vertical and 
horizontal handling on the mark.

The 15mm is no easy lens to use anytime, as many on the list can attest to. 
But you've knocked these off very nicely in quick order for handling 
technique. If one considers the amount of vertical and horizontal lines in 
these buildings and how you've shot them, "looking normal" you've done a 
damn fine job.

Certainly in capturing the Cape at it's bleakest looking time.

Well done, good on you.
