In reply to Marky Mark:
I thought they wre all excellent, well done.
Just one observation:
The Tour Ronde one has the subject dead centre. If you'd put it to the left, you would lose the blank area to the left, I wanted to see more of the ridge extending to the right.
After deciding to start some serious photography myself, and on the advice of these very fora, I too have set myself up with a Canon G12 and Lightroom 3. What sort of processes were you doing in Lightroom, and what sort of setup on the G12, i.e. Auto, P, Tv, Av or Manual?
Any suggestions welcome, to help me get started.
