Got my copy a few minutes ago. Again thanks Daniel for your trojan work.
There are some very strong and inspirational photographs here -
particularly like the 'wallpaper and chair' one.
I'm curious though did people think that some of the color shots did not
print very well - particularly where there are large expanses of one color?
This is quite evident on 'buoy' (one of mine, erhm..) and a few others. Its
interesting though that on the really good images you tend not to be
side-tracked by this!
