Hi Philippe,
Well done mon ami! :-) A very relaxing series of photographs. One could make 
them into an art collage and hang on the wall.

One thing I like is the "visual comfort " allowing one to sit quietly, look 
and admire something that looks nice! It's a kind of "feel good of 
simplicity."

The other is making use of the Digi 2 for something not many have shown in 
the past, maybe you'll trigger using the camera in a slightly different 
venue in the future.

I used mine on a recent shoot in Portugal and the UK and in some cases the 
Digi 2 results appear cleaner and crisper than those of the 20D when 
shooting the same subject.

In other words the Digi 2 looked like a Leica image as we know with film. 
Now if Leica could only come out with a digital version that would allow us 
to use our M lenses it would wonderful, because it's obvious when seeing the 
difference in some situations where the Digi 2 and 20D were used side by 
each.

This doesn't mean he 20D images were inferior, it just means the Digi 2 
images had a Leica look as we're accustomed to seeing when using film and M7 
or whatever.
