First woman, looking at one of the half-dome photos: "I could do that." Second woman: "Me, too." First woman, moving to next photo: "I could do that, too." Second woman: "Me, too." Looked at the URL that you pointed out and, I'm ashamed to admit it, I like it. I'm sure I'd like it even more as an actual print, rather than merely a lo-res jpeg. BTW, I also really liked your Honduras photos.
