Lovely! I have the same lens. Very nice. Love the photo.

Quite sharp Jan.
It's a fine image. Well done.

Try tweaking the WB, I see a green/yellow skew that's distracting me.

PentX Girl · 12-04-2009, 02:56 PM

Thanks...I really like my lens too...you get a lot of bang for your buck.

PentX Girl · 12-04-2009, 02:57 PM

Thank you Ash for the kind words.

Thanks for the advice...does this look a little better?

Gorgeous image Jan, but this one is a liitle too far the other side. Split the difference and it will be perfect.

Thank you Heinrich...I'm at work right now...when I get home I'll definitely try that. I'm very weak in the PP area and appreciate all the help and advice I can get.

A very sharp image.Great capture of the maine flowing in the wind.

I like the 2nd post. What do you use for PP?

PentX Girl · 12-05-2009, 05:51 AM

Thanks Barn

Hey...what happened to your cute little Barney Rubble avitar...I liked that one

PentX Girl · 12-05-2009, 05:55 AM

Thanks Rusty

I'm embarrassed to tell you what I use

I'm such a novice at this I use the easiest thing I can find...Picasa

**Sailor** · 12-05-2009, 09:36 AM

Wow - this is truly well done! I'm impressed. A box from Amazon came yesterday that I'm pretty sure contains a DA 55-300 - I'll find out Christmas morning. I'm hoping I can do half as well with mine as you do with yours.

Hey Jer...congratulations...you're going to love that lens

Like I said...it's a lot of bang for your buck! Don't know when I'll be able to afford some expensive glass...so in the mean time I sure like this lens for the money
