Hi Eric!

As with Douglas's shots, I'm late in commenting. However, I like this 
series...  if I had any "complaint", it is that your sepia shot is a 
bit too heavy on the red... a milder sepia tone might have looked a 
bit better.  Otherwise, it's a nice series. I particularly liked the 
first shot, of Stonehenge... a site that I'd like to see, one day.

Cheers!
