Love it!
Waterfront at Caernarfon...
Very nice photo. I like the contrast in elements between the water and the shore.
Note: It was difficult to TIMG this photo. The Insert Image icon is still broken by the update.
If you are having trouble with TIMG tags, I have two questions in Site and Forum Feedback
In the announcement thread
As a seperate thread
Let them know it your "MacRumors Experience" is hurting...

Oh. That thing.
I am NOT a fan of this watch / dog / rooster beast. He'd be better in a stew. But on that day he took a reasonable photo.

Note: When the Chinese population of Tacoma was run out of town in 1885, they had to buy their own tickets. Those without the funds were loaded on freight cars. Scary.
They had two choices; rail to Portland or ship to Vancouver BC. Portland has an Old Chinatown which has grown to a New Chinatown. Vancouver is celebrating it's 125Th. Chinatown anniversary, themed "Leap from a Proud Heritage".
Tacoma has a large Asian population today with a thriving Korean business district, but no Chinatown.
Friends of Portland Chinatown
Welcome to Vancouver Chinatown

Normally, I'd pass this by as a cliche shot, but this one is very well executed and works for me. Great job!

A little fill-flash to put a catchlight in his eye would be nice.
Thoughts?
Flash is a bit harsh, it needs diffusion and to be "bigger" area-wise. Also, we really would be much better off if her eyes were looking at the camera- the neck angle is just uncomfortable looking.
