I disagree. Often the distortion can look cool

I disagree too. I hate the T&S treatment of architecture with straight -
parallel vertical lines which absolutely don't represent what my eyes see.
I kind of don't like it as much as the overused HDR treatment...

Thanks for that image. Is this done on RAW and process?

No, that's a JPG file direct from the camera; only post was cropping it somewhat.

Thanks Smeggypants.

O.K. Last one for me here...

... I just had to go out and buy a little spring today. Minnesota winter has gotten me down. Love the color rendition in the K-5.

This thread is wonderful! While these aren't in the same category as so many of the pictures posted, I thought these were as nice as anything I've taken recently.

I loved the lines in that first one, and the wide open spaces of all of them. I too need to get out more, and also, to get to places other than my usual stamping grounds.

Ditto.

Thanks all. That is a 5 frame HDR shot at ISO80, as well as the art gallery. I contiinue to be extremely impressed with the K-5. Such a wonderful dSLR. Really blows my K-7 out of the water.
