Hi,
I'd have loved to be more positive, but your photographs are nothing more than mundane holiday snapshots. Had Srinagar been an exotic place they might have been interesting, but ordinary photographs of Srinagar in 2005 are hardly worth flashing around the bar or the office the week after your holiday.

Pete,
I agree. Pitty, because there were great photo opportunities. The old adagium still works, and wsa forgotten by this photographer: After you like you picture in the viewfinder: -portraits: go 2 steps closer -anything else: go a lot closer -digital: steps one and two plus an extra step (view finder shows 80% or less) Sander Amsterdam Holland "Pete Loud" wrote in message ...

Dear Alby
I think that your web pages lack visual impact (ie. they are boring). But there is a lot you can do to improve things. First of all you should pick your best photos and put them on the first page. Unfortunatley, your first page seems to contain your least interesting photos. You photos also look quite blury and washed out. This is probably because you used a compact zoom which have cheap lenses and also because you saved on a very low quality JPEG setting (to save disk space/bandwidth). I think that you need to rescan your photos and use the sharpen feature of Photoshop (or whatever software you are using). This works remarkably well. You should also use the auto-contrast feature and possibly play around with the brighness/contrast. It's also worth changing the colour balance, usually add more red, subtract some blue. This (in my opinion) makes the colours look more natural. I don't feel that doing any of the above is cheating since you are only removing the defects introduced by the camera and the developing/printing process. You can also use the crop feature of your Photo software to make the composition more interesting. You also need to improve your thumbnail images. You can create thumbnails by cropping rather than by just zooming out. Your photos on pages 3 and 4 are potentially very good. Work on them first and don't be afraid to have images files that are 100Kb or larger. Get rid of any photos that are boring. Choose quality over quantity.
