Great! I really adore "Lotus" out of this set; the soft colors speak volumes. "Washington Monument" has a nice symmetry. I really like the mood in "Vietnam War Memorial," but I'm not really attracted to most of the dark side even though it works well with the overall mood. I think you should try redoing "Warmth," I think I get what you were going for, but the crop and whatever those containers are in the background kinda take it away for me.

Can't wait to see more!

P.S.: I think "Incarcerated" is hilarious.

Thanks for the comments purplerose!
I'll play around with warmth a bit and see what I can do.

Hi Everyone,

Haven't updated this thread in a while, so I figured now would be a good time.

I just returned home from spending the summer backpacking across Europe!
I saw a lot of amazing things and took thousands of photos along the way.
The main places I saw were: London, Poole, Paris, Epernay, Munich, Venice, Rome, and Istanbul.

Here's a selection of about 30 pics which I felt represented the best photos taken.
Enjoy looking at them, and be sure to let me know what you think! Thanks!
