Bravo Angus ...

I think you have stepped beyond the typical first show problems and have a really nice show here. Excellent photography, good pacing, nice transitions and music which works well throughout most of the show.

One thing you might consider (with those slides where you have a black "gap" at top and bottom) is to use zoom to enlarge those photos to fill the frames. Of course, this is just a personal preference and the show works wonderfully as is.

Thank you for posting,

Angus,

Excellent job .......... I agree with Jerry regarding the small black bars top and bottom. You might also want to shorten the last slide a little .... it stayed on a very long time after the show and song ended. I look forward to seeing more from you .......

Outstanding Angus -- I agree with Bob's comments on the bars
and last slide. You may be new to producer, but clearly you
are NOT new to photography -- those are some great shots and
getting good exposures with that complete range of skin tones
is TOUGH :)

Two minor points you might find helpful:
1) in the initial show configuration, you can uncheck the box
(on by default) to show the Photodex splash screen.

2) When you create the menu, you can pick which slide you
want to be the image for the "button" (instead of the default
first slide which was probably black?). It can be any slide in
the show (or another image for that matter).

Great job !! Weddings are tough to make worth watching for
anybody except the immediate members -- I watched yours
twice (loved the little girl looking at the ring and the expression
on her face)

Nothing is worn under those kilts ... everything is in fine working order :D

Old joke -- couldn't resist it.

Beautiful show

Loved your show! Personally, I did not mind the black background showing. It was consistent so it never drew my eye. Just my $.02

You are really very good or you've been watching other shows. I loved your show. The photos were great and just the perfect match of music and transitions. I'll expect great things from you. Very nice job, you captured the emotion wonderfully. I did many shows before I had the nerve to post. Nice Job. Ann

Good, I got to see it this time! :)

Angus your photography is superlative. I really enjoyed your show, and seeing some 'less common' shots. The very powerful song created a lovely atmosphere and it all flowed along beautifully. Only one small gripe for me, the last slide hung on just a bit too long I think - but that's only my opinion. Very well done.
