Constructive criticism

[Ian Nicoll]

Hello everybody,
Would like some Constructive criticism, if you have time please check out my 1st book. Photo's were taken with my new (and 1st DSLR) D300.
I was a bit excited to get it done, the result to me looks a bit "Flat". Guess next time I will take more time and add some text!
Let me know what you think.
In case you were wondering, I am from Scotland but my home is in the Philippines now with my wife of 14 years. We have two of our own kids and adopt a further 7!! (there are a lot of kids need help there)
Thanks for your time and comments.

Hi, I loved your book. Your pictures were great. I think you are right to add some text, that would make it great. You may also want to change the color on some of your pages. I have made about 15 books and with each book, I find more that I can do with this software to enhance my book. I have one that I am waiting for from our last cruise... check out the one I did of my granddaughter... ID# R648028 and password 1140074

Congratulations, what a beautiful baby! I especially like the one's of her in her going home suit.
What model of book did you use to get the overlapping photo's? I didn't see that on the Deluxe book.
Thanks for you comments. I will definitely take more time on my second book, just need to take some more photo's first!! (new camera).
Ian.

Hi, I just checked out your book and you have alot of beautiful pictures!! I really liked the full page close ups of the kids. My only suggestion would be to maybe change up the size of the layouts a bit more. I just finished my first book (daughters wedding). I did most of the pages in photo shop. If you would like to check it out.. ID# m774234

Beautiful photos!

I'm torn. Your beautiful photos stand alone with wonderful impact!!! :)

However, there is tremendous value in a simple ID via: name, date, location. I discovered this recently when going thru numerous boxes of old family unlabeled photos, with no one left to positively date or ID the subjects . It sure would have saved me countless hours of frustration:confused:!

Regardless of your decision - don't stop!
