Now I know why you are 'Get Smart'. It took a super agent to figure that one out!

I could hardly believe #28 was a wide angle lens, but the xif data says it was a 17mm focal length on a K10. Sigma lens?

Nice bunch of offerings there.

A lot of dogs and cats, which I like.

Is it me, or is that praying mantis actually smiling in photo # 4?

It will be tough deciding this month.

Could be a healthy crop...

Wide Angle + portrait

Some nice shots, some pictures with faults, some are not wide angle and some are not even portraits....

So what was meant I think is this : A portrait, but with some surroundings or interesting background. And because we are talking about a portrait, preferrable no close-up because a clos-up with a wide angle lens deforms the portrait/face...

Where 13 is a nice picture - it is wide angle ànd a portrait - it deforms the face. As this was the intention, it's OK. Some other pictures have the same effect, not all intended I suppose but a side-effect of coming too close to your subject with a wide-angle lens.

Anyway : try to avoid vignetting (remove any filter when using wide-angle) and if you are using a flash, use an external one or don't use any

Try to find an interesting background and then put your subject in place, don't go too close to your subject and you'll get interesting results !

There were many nice photos here (tough to pick which of the dogs I liked most), but there were also many that didn't fit the criteria (not wide-angle, and not portraits). But I enjoyed the photos though.

#1 is quite adorable especially with the pink background. And I spot an umbrella.. do I spot a second light in there too... Then again #2 is quite precious too
