    They are all neat, but number three really rocks. I love the sepia tone on this one.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Paul,

    As everybody pointed out, number three is a great, emotional shot!

    Keep it up,

    Nice work Paul.
    The trees are stunning. Bit tight on the cropping for my liking but that is my only complaint.
    You've captured a couple of tender moments in the other two and I like the subtle toning.

    Hey Paul,

    You have some realy nice shots here. Personally, I like the tight crop on the trees. I'm not a huge fan of subjects being dead center in the photo but I think it works with the tight crop on these. Nice work.

    Dear Paul,

    You have got some really great photos here. I know everyone is gaga over number three, but I really like number four. A great moment. Great stuff!

    Re: The Past Couple of Days...

    Thanks for the encouragment all... these were all shot with the Nikkor lens I recently wacked

    JK_Photo - You are probably right that the crop is too tight, I was trying to minimize the dead verticle space so I cropped a tad in photo shop. My original composition was tight already and I should have probably stuck with that.. I'm glad you like the 3rd shot...

    Dzerzhinski46 - curious why you like #4 when 3 got such rave reviews.. I like the emotion in 4 that the individuals are expressing.. just curious..

    Once again thank you all for the encouragment..

    cheers..
