Fabulous! Thank you. There are so many little things that make them work. What creates the impact more than anything, isn't where it is, but the compositional factor in so many. They are beyond mere "Happy snap" tourist views we see so many of on list. It's camera handling for composition, subjects balanced and bits and pieces in the right places making the pictures interesting. Every time there's a Nathan picture show everyone can learn by "REALLY LOOKING AT THE PICTURES!" Not just snapping by them. Look at them and ask yourself what makes this shot work? "Beyond the colour, beyond the neat looking place!" The reason the pictures grabs us is, the composition, angles and of course the subjects and yep the colour adds at times. But all this happens because of the way the camera is held and creating the angles of composition that captures the eye of the viewer. After all these years of looking at your "Tour with Nathan events." Obviously it's your gift of observation that makes them work time after time! And not some bright coloured item that catches the eye! Good on you lad always a pleasure! Thank you. ted
