I also like how your villa has that classic 1970’s set feel with the arches
and tile walkway.
I do have a couple of suggestions about your pictures. Please resize them
to be around 1000x750 or 800x600 pixels. If your pictures load faster, more
people will look at them and leave comments for you. Also consider placing
your mocs on top of the back of a poster (or some other white surface) when
taking shots. Removing background information (like your tablecloth) helps
us focus more on the creation.

Ben:
The resize thing isn’t a bad idea--I have my camera set for ridiculously huge
for a reason--it makes for better pics at printing for 8x10. But, I will try
to resize them all over the weekend (at least, the Cruella d’Villa pics) to
something a little more reasonable.
As for backdrop--well, that’s also fixable in the long term. In the short
term...my next MOC will be awhile in the making, and when it comes to taking
the pics I’ll try to set it against a 50x50 grey baseplate!
Thanks for the kind words--
Play Well and Prosper!

Hi again--
I don’t like posting to my own posts, but so you all know...I have taken Ben’s
advice and gone through both the Cruella d’Villa and the Minifigs on Tour
pictures on Brickshelf
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=matthewcrandall9) and resized
them to roughly 1000x750 for faster loading. It will take some serious time to
resize the Brickfest 2007 pictures simply due to the sheer number of them.
Right now, however, I have to clean a 35 year old 50x50 baseplate--it’s far
dirtier than I remembered it being....
Play Well and Prosper,
Matthew
