Cotty,
That's a nice surprise!  Stefan has talent.
I especially liked...
706NY - clean and simple graphic shot
768NY - a real attention grabber
839NY - wheel detail is elegant
794NY - driver, a shot from a movie, no clutter
672NY - wish the 3rd person wasn't there
718PA - 2 pictures in one
615PA - lots of mood
853Norway - love the panorama
856Norway - nice graphic catch

Tell Stefan he has done some very nice work.
The pictures show an awareness of his surroundings,
and the ability to make good photographs from the opportunities.
He taking more than just travel snaps, he's making real pictures!

Regards, Bob S.
