GAUDI 1.0.0

Hi Mick

You did a good job of showing the different Gaudi designs, and your images of the Segrada Familia where impressive.  It is nice to see how far they have come already with it.  Your commentary had just the right amount of information.

I found it also impressive that the photos you took had not too much people in them.  I find it more and more difficult to take a picture at a popular tourist site without having somebody in them who takes a selfie.

Well done Mick!  I have seen a number of your versions of this sequence.  This is by far the best.  The additional photography greatly

improves it and the sound mix is fine.  My only small point, there are a number of images that could do with some Photoshop - Shadows/Highlights -

Highlights to add some detail and reduce the brightness of the highlights. Interesting and informative.  Great AV now time to move on!

Regards, Roger.

I really enjoyed this show, it was most informative.  It makes me really, really, really want to visit, to take in the sights and that, in itself, is a wonderful accolade for your show!

As you have been so kind to offer me detailed feedback recently, I thought it only right and proper to return the favour.  I fully accept these are only very minor points, but I thought you might be interested in some constructive feedback - which of course is just my humble opinion. 

The red borders on the first few portrait images jarred with me, you later use a grey border for such portrait images, side by side, and I think the grey works much better.  As you use a bright background to these, IMHO a very thin black border of just one or two pixels would work best.

Some images display colour noise, there are two in particular that suffer significantly from this.  I know they were taken indoors and your ISO was high, but with a little treatment, the images could be improved.  Nik Software is now free and Dfine will sort these out for you.  One image had two large dust spots.  (I know these are very minor points.)

And finally the image of the organ pipes, looking up, with all the reflections on the pipes - is simply superb.  IMHO it deserves much more display time, to fully appreciate it.
