Hi, I love your photography, beautiful work.

Guest		11-Oct-2009 22:23
Some great shots here. But you are too self indulgent. Pl pick best 15 or 20 hots and let the world review and judge. Right now you have got too much in a single album. You have talent but pick a theme and keep it snappy.

Paolo Peggi (aka Bracciodiferro)		07-Oct-2009 20:22
Excellent gallery, very nice colors and compo! V Paolo
