This is a great photo, if you ask me. Could you have taken this same shot with your 775 digital? I have a Nikon FM and an 885 digital -- I never know if I shouldn't have taken a shot with the other camera... Ay, that's the rub, isn't it? But this is so saturated, focused, and a model of exactitude -- one fine piece of work.

Never been to Pompei, but I've been to Bath, England, and seen some cool Roman stuff. Question: with your very wide-angle lens, is this chamber actually pretty small? Seems fairly big in the photo, but then I saw the lens used. Nice shot: very understated, subtle, with great lighting.

This is superb: blue-on-blue blueness all around, lambent glow of light, spindly fingers of wood thrusting from the water, and the blue frame -- the overall beauty of this shot is that of stillness in an acqueous, dusky world. Thanks for a great photograph.

This is the highest I've rated any photo yet. This has an otherworldly, ethereal, hyper-realistic character to it. It's like the visual equivalent of a DFX 3-D audio enhancement to your favorite MP3 song. Someday you'll have to give us a Photoshop lesson on how to impart just this beautiful quality of light. Great stuff.

I really like this photo! I think the blurred monorail works great, plus all the blue/purple hits you over the head with coolness, both chromatically and hipness-wise. Good job.

I also think the few stray gray grapes should've been tinted yellow. Did you leave them B&W so we'd know what the originals looked like, or what? But the stark yellow-on-gray is a master stroke -- found myself looking at the photo for a long time; very effective. Nice work!
