Some excellent images here. The first is just great. The 3rd and 4th are good. The second, though good, seems to be overwhelmed by the competing large bright out of focus highlights. I still like it, it is very appealing, maybe because of the red and gold together.

Quite a great set of assorted images. Number 1 and 3 are my favorite in the area of composion and impact.

Welcome and thanks for sharing the excellent photos. I really like the first one. Care to share the details of your setup?

Welcome to the Pentax Forum.

This is a nice start. If I might offer one minor criticism, the portrait seems a little soft. I don't know if that was your intention or not. Some people do intentionally soften up their portraits of women to be more flattering.

I like that pic of the ski jump. Well done.

Excellent first shots. If this is after one month, just wait till you get more time with this gear. Well done. Love the Ski jump and the water drop.
