Hi Nathan,
What can one say about the reflections but very well done! In both colour & 
B&W. Certainly illustrates the impact of using different films.

Although I have a question about posting such excellent exposures at the 
size they are? I realize these are not jpegs at 72 size for transmission. 
However, given the world of the internet is full of SOB's stealing images 
for their own use and money in they're pockets. I have to say something 
about the size of your photographs.

Each time I'm primed to have a website produced I'm shown how easy it is to 
copy a picture. Particularly, your vertical reflection photo then print it 9 
X 6 inches. No the photo isn't smashing, but it sure could be used for 
re-production by any number of unscrupulous thieves or publications.

I've been told web sight photographs could have water marks on the 
photographs. Yes I understand water marking, but I've also been shown how 
easy it is to copy a photograph with a water mark, re-move it and the 9X6 
print looked pretty good.

Copying has crossed my mind any number of times while looking at some of 
your photography because it's so dang good! But this is the first time I've 
made a point of it because the Berlin pictures warrant the warning.

It's been my understanding if one posts a picture through the internet the 
resolution should never be any greater than 72. In your case the size shows 
240. So in the future, certainly with some of your work looking so 
professionally acceptable, maybe it's time to make 'em 72 from now on.

I trust this is of some use.
