One thing wrong with it is a lack of "white space". Another is
the fact that some of the pictures are disjointed from the
portion of the text describing them. Both issues will be
corrected when I acquire another Round Tuit.

Possible. None of the photos are particularily strong--either in
composition nor in contrast. This is possibly due to several
reasons: Mood at the time of photographing--it was family time,
not "me" time. When converting the images, I didn't want the
images to be particularily "loud". This was my interpretation of
the scene. I was more inspired to write about what I saw and
felt and the photos were secondary.

Hey, I appreciate that. These pictures really weren't meant to
be "pretty". I actually had some pictures in there that were and
I had to remove them because they fought the text too much.
