Looks great! Some of the black and whites seem low contrast but I'm getting rid of this monitor and getting a MacBook pro with Retina screen for my birthday. I'm sure they'd read better on that. I've never known a photographer to be involved in so many internet photo venues as you Tina! In the past you've posted some HDR's to the LUG which really did look like HDR's. Looks like you've figured the whole thing out since then. Though if I was your agent I'd recommend not having your work on this venue. Its way beneath your work. I'm hoping a top legitimate art gallery specializing in photography would not hold it against a photographer for having their work on such a site. I'd think they would. You're selling your images along people who got their camera yesterday and think they're photographers today. On 8/6/15 5:42 PM, "Tina Manley" <tmanley at gmail.com> wrote: > I have 151 up there.
