I was pretty happy with this considering the gear I used (not to mention the windy conditions). It's my first wide field pic.

mmm, and why didnt you piggy back on the LX90?. Excellent wind break, thats a classic (BTW, nice site presentation).

Nice images Michael.

One suggestion I'd like to make though, I find the background to your site a bit distracting.
As an imager I can't help thinking of noise every time I look at it.
You may be better off with a smooth dark background to improve contrast for the eyes of the viewer.
