And congratulations for sticking with it for the past 26 weeks. Many have 
fallen by the wayside, and I'm just now getting to removing the bodies from 
my PAW links page.

I like the content of the main best (could be a magazine ad image for 
something) and the technical quality of the guys in the park. The main 
seems distorted to me (gee, that can happen with a 15mm?). Was the couple 
aware that you were shooting them? You must have been close enough to smell 
their breath.
