Thanks for very useful feedback, Alastair. Yep highlight control is an issue
with the Muir Woods shots. That's what the HDR guys keep telling me too.

Lots of stuff is simply for fun or for travel glimpses. Meals and drinks are
sort of a mini-tradition for me with travel galleries. Nothing
photographically significant, I agree. You will encounter a LOT of
margaritas and beers as you browse about.
Gullzilla is meant to be a fun theme in the various galleries. I remarked to
Doug in SF that the gulls there are about 3 times the size of the ones at
home, hence the birth of gullzilla. 
You kinda needed to be following along over the last four posts! 


Cheers
Geoff

Pick up your camera and make the best photo you can.

1. b/w forest scene: I think this looks a lot better in b/w but the railings
need some burning to bring out some texture (if its there). A focus subject
on the empty path would also be helpful: GB could lend you a blow up sheep
;-) 2. Pizza and wine dinner: OK good memory, but not really a public domain
image. The subject is cheese and tomato, so to give it appeal is not going
to be easy 3. The lines give this some form and interest, but the jet stream
spoils the other flowing lines in the beautiful clouds and cutting across
the gull does not work for me. 
4. Family snap with a fiddle: Had me fooled till I looked back in the
history ;-)

Cheers

Alastair

Folks four additions to the San Francisco and environs gallery.
There are more from the Tales of Gullzilla, more food and a bw conversion
from Muir Woods if anyone would care to look.
The new pics (in a rearranged gallery) start with this one.
