First, there are way too many photos to comment on and they are way too large to look at on the monitor. I believe that if you keep the maximum size to 800 X800, they will be easier to view.

I would like to comment on #6 though. I really think you hit a home run with this one. She really stands out from the background and she is very sharp. The background is great.

So is it a sweet 16 or quinceanera (15). Two different parties. Nice images. 1,5 and 6 grab my eye.

Quinceniera is basically the latin way of celebrating sweet 16. Normally they are turning 16 when they go through this. Just celebrated a bit differently. Quincenieras throw HUGE parties, and sweet 16's are normally down scaled, that is of course if you have a lot of money to blow on a huge party, then that is a whole new ball game of it's own.

Yep, #6 was the one used at the reception printed life size, and on some banners. That one did hit it dead on.

As far as the size, i do not know why they are showing up big on here. On other sites, they show up way down scaled. So i got no clue what happened there. ehh, they are still viewable.

The last five all fit fine...the first ones are so large I have to scroll to view them. It has to do with the way they were downloaded. Whatever you did on the last ones (all the others you have posted in fact) did not happen with the first ones. Actually, I thought this site automatically adjusted the size when they are downloaded...maybe it just compresses the file size?

I know I always reduce the photo size in accordance with the recommended 800 pixel size.

What this site does to images depends on where they are hosted. If you upload images to your albums here it will compress them and make them fit witin the size constraints. If you host them on your own site then link to them they will appear at whatever you have them sized to. In this case the first image was sized to 972x1452. That is why it is large here.

I like 1,3,4,5,6,7,8
Not to keen on the effect with 2. But, is a very useful effect..
Maybe with a simpler photo that does not have competing textures in the B&W areas..
