I am finally getting the hang of my new k20d and silkypix so I thought I'd share a few of the pics that I like. Any comments or constructive feedback is most welcome...

Nice series. #3 is my fav, followed by #1.

Thanks. There was a lot of fog/smog that morning. A bit less haze would have made it a bit more interesting. I wonder if I should have used a smaller aperture to keep more things on focus there. I think I just let the camera chose the focus points in this case.

They are all nice shots. Keep up the good work.

Very nice. #1 and 4 I really like. JIMBo

Nicely done - I really like nos. 3, 4 and 5 - the fog gives an interesting surreal effect.

No. 1 would benefit if the transition to unsharp were more gradual or softer.

@Ole: Thanks. Regarding #1, I didn't apply any graduated filter. I took the RAW file and then applied some global adjustments on SilkyPix but perhaps if I don't have the image as sharp? Or I might have gone over board with the large aperture

Thx for the feedback

And thanks for all the comments!

DAMN good shooting there!

Wow, the photographs are really nicely taken. I like the sentiment and mood from these shots

I'm a sailor, so I'm naturally taken with #1. Super job throughout the series.

Cool pics! #3 of the foggy road is pretty neat.
