The portfolio on the store mannequins is very boring indeed. And the feature on "perspective" showcases an image of the Taj Mahal, taken with a tele lens, but am I alone in thinking the subject is not fully horizontal ? (in other words: bad perspective). While portfolios are always a matter of personal taste, it is right to say that this issue is very so-so in general. A nice portfolio by Rainer Harscher on the Greek monasteries though. The article on the 280/4.0 lens by Mark Brandenburgh was, however, full of common places and hardly a test report compared to the high standards of e.g. Erwin's reports.
