The download is absolutely gorgeous with what you did, thanks

That looks great, really appreciate it...can't wait to try it again, another translant/repositioning cruise ending in Rome, it'll definitely please the wife

Thanks and rxactly, should have been quicker but this was on the fly, pushed by those darn tourists, lol...next time. The Pantheon would have been great for that, next time.

Thanks, appreciate the compliment....wish I could have gotten a little wider view. This and the dome of the Pantheon were truly awesome but limited by my lens/camera...guess I needed a 'Fish-eye' to get it all in

Glad you like them, the architecture and colors were awesome...Please feel free to do anything you want with them, they're just personal pics for my enjoyment...the people there were everywhere, waited a few minutes to limit the number in the frame but eliminating tourists while there, an impossibility...unless I broke in a t night

I'm going back but remember, Rome is an absolute Madhouse during holidays, especially Easter, avoid at all cost that time frame. Also a great place for photography, so many sights.

Took these photos in the Vatican Museum as were leaving with hundreds of people during Easter this year. Beautiful staircase, didn't really have the time to set up and compose. Loved to have gotten in the center and shot straight up, sure they wouldn't have let me hang from the ceiling . No post processing, just the original JPEG photos, miffed I wasn't shooting in RAW. Sony 6300/10mm (15mm equiv), 1/60, f4, ISO 200...... Good, bad indifferent, appreciate comments about anything, composition, color, lighting, flash, post processing, etc.

"A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.”...great photos, fantastic composition, number 5 says it all

Always want to go to Patagonia, bucket list, but after my first trip to Alaska, I no longer yearn to go south. So big, so many places, so little time, the most beautiful, extreme, wild country I've ever seen and will being going back again & again. From the swamps of Florida to the Southwest up to Alaska, America has probably the most varied and beautiful photographic sites in the world....besides when not sightseeing in Alaska, they have great, no fantastic, local breweries.

Thanks, looks like I'll have to give it another whirl next May/June, thanks

Yes you were lucky, we were there at the end of May, first of June this year and we had rain, rain, rain interspersed with a few hours of sunlight daily, although on our Denali trip the weather was quite nice but mountains were covered the entire day. You are right, animas everywhere in May/June

Was just there for 10 days this last May, traveled from Seward, Whittier to Denali and many points in between. Weather was cold, wet but the animals were amazing, they were everywhere. You name it, we saw it...moose, bears (Black/Grisly), sheep, caribou, eagles, ptarmigans and many others. Sister visited in late July/August a year of so ago and didn't have as much luck with seeing wildlife. We were told and found out weather can be very unpredictable May through June but wildlife was extremely abundant. From a beautiful day in Denali to a snow storm in Alyeska in the south, had to be prepared. Scheduling another trip back when Moose have their antlers, likely September or later but would go back in May, early June in a heartbeat. Make sure your friend takes camera protection gear, weather can change in an instant. Its an extremely beautiful and wild country...so much to see, it can't be done on a whim, need to plan, plan, plan

World's Best Camera? Like anything else in electronics and especially cameras these days, its only as good as the next iteration or the next "world's best camera" and based on the advancement of technology, that shouldn't be long. Seems the difference between the top tier 'Pro' cameras these days are miniscule. World's best camera? Whatever camera you choose to record what your eye sees. Mine is my current camera. However the hype never ends on a new product and....hype sells.

May not be many of these critters left after this weekend in south & central Florida.....IRMA

Nice pretty, harmless, little Star Spider, good shot
