   Jeg liker endringene du har gjort på bloggen din. Lys og fin, ryddig og oversiktlig og med akkurat passe mengde fancy tilleggsfunksjoner (thumbnails, rating osv).

   Bildet er fint. Ser ikke så mye til mangelen av skarphet og kontraster som du skriver. Synes det er akkurat passe. Jeg liker komposisjonen. Jenta på bildet ser litt lost ut, så tittelen din passer fint

   Takk Jan Ivar for feedback på designet. Når det gjelder bildet så har du helt rett. Det er skarpere enn jeg trodde, men det kan faktisk ha med noe så banalt å gjøre at jeg sliter med nye briller….
   Og jeg ble faktisk inspirert til å endre tittelen: “Lost” funker bedre enn “small”…

   Thanks, Jan Ivar, for the feedback on the new design. You’re right about the image, it is sharper than I first thougth, but my first impression may have had to do that I’m adapting to new glasses….
   And you inspired me to change the name of the image: “Lost” feels better than “Small” in the context.

   BTW Jan Ivar: I would appreciate it if you took time to rate the image. It’s the reason I’ve got the rating system up and running….

   Nice feeling with the big thing in the background and tree on the side. I cannot see the lack of contrast and sharpness that you say, except for the background - but that only adds depth to it doesn’t it?
   I will start rate, rating is a good thing!
   But why can I not go to “next” and “previous” anywhere?

   Good to see you here, Eilif!
   A narrow DOF would have lessened the feeling of place and time, and place is important here.
   For navigating the site, back and forward buttons is the missing piece of the puzzle I haven’t worked out het. Help would be appreciated.
   I’ll be awaiting further comments and ratings with expectations;-)

   Good to be here too!
   I like this picture. I did not say that background should be more out of focus or anything.

   Norsk: Altså, du sier at “det mangler kontrast og skarphet”, så sier jeg “nei hvordan da?”. Det var mest for at, det er et fint bilde, jeg ville ikke hatt noe mere kontrast akkurat her, jeg vet ikke hvorfor. Men så er jeg ingen proff heller.

   I got that one, Eilif. I know you didnt’ say it.
   And about the contrast/sharpness thing, as I commented to Framed and Shot, I both think you are right, the image is sharp enough, and contrast really is spot on. It’s just that getting adapted to new reading glasses at times fools my eyes.

   Hola! Eilif. I hope you’re satisfied with the improvements. I finally worked it out, though I’m not that happy with the look of the next/previous buttons.
   But it should make it much easier for you to rate my masterworks!
   Enjoy!

   Flott tittel på et vel knipset øyeblikk. Jeg syns dette funka, jeg. Jeg blir ikke forstyrret av den manglende skarpheten og kontrasten du skriver om. Syns faktisk at den lave kontrasten bidrar til å formidle “budskapet” i bildet.
