Case study announcement: Courtyard Wash
Has anyone else found that the alternate exposures do not line up with the base exposure? It wouldn't be that much of a problem if I could get Photoshop to align them to the base exposure, but tips I

High Andes: Results
I like the alternate par (#1027) much better than the first one (#1026). One of my first thoughts was to be careful about overcooking a child's face, and I thought I was pushing it with mine (#1018).

Choir: Dan's comments
First, a few words about 703: for those who missed last summer's case studies, it is not unlike entry 920 submitted by a certain somebody (ahem) for the "A Toast to Greece" case study. Excerpts of Dan

Concert on the Beach, particular request
I'll start with Question #2: I prefer the par, despite my quibble posted in the other thread, I can believe that it is representative of that concert. - #308: the griminess throws me off a little, but

More case studies?
I'm interested in another run of case studies. I thought the mix of images for last summer's series was good and the 7-day cycle allowed for life getting in the way of fun.
