Hi charles,

Great images evoking some great feelings. No's 10 and 11 for me personally are the best.

I think No. 1 is slightly underexposed and lacks a certain punch, but in the scheme of the gallery it fits well.

Regards

Wow, a lot of views with only one comment! These IMHO great photos, evoking a high level of emotion. I really like #3, #4, & #8. #1 is kind of looks like a post card, not that that's bad.
