So many ppl covered this event! that's cool! Thanks for the huge load! Much appreciated!
If I can give you a suggestion, but it's mostly personal preferences, don't crop the pics like you often did, ending up with weird formats.. IMO it just doesn't suit pc screens and I prefer to stick to 4:3 or 16:9 formats instead of constantly having different ones
Also: buy a polarizer filter asap

and maybe, even if I don't know picasa that well, switch to PS which should be IMO better
