I hadn't commented on those, but I found them very good. The large area, the tone rendition and lighting on the "prison" shot reminds me of old photographs and I like it a lot for its atmosphere. BTW: I read that aborigines recently got official excuses from the Australian government. Never too late to amend I hope. I simply wish my country followed in your footsteps about our colonial past. More photographs when you can, please. Amiti?s phx G Hopkinson wrote: >Thanks for looking and commenting, Didier. As to wide-angle effects, you >will be horrified when I post some more shots then.
