Great!

Two questions though:

Why are the textures not in a game engine friendly resolution? I feel 2048 x 2048 would be better for most textures as opposed to 2272x1704. That way texture quality is preserved and the end user can scale the textures down to suit his/her needs without distorting the aspect ratio.
Where are the normal and where applicable, specular maps?

Those are not textures, just photos.

Doesn't tile that well, does it?



However, they might be a great resource for creating textures.

Well in that case, so is my digital camera and the beautiful Australian outdoors. Cheaper too! ;)
