In that case, you've done a great job in PP.

The sky seems better here, but in other areas specially around the house the previous version was better, and more realistic. with less halo around edges.

yep you're right actually, just noticed. must have opened the wrong psd file.ill just overlap the old photo and erase the sky out to reveal the new one.

Thank you! been shooting a lot in this park with both DA15 and DA 16-45 and it seems like the zoom can hold his own against the prime

This is Retezat National Park in Romania, very nice mountains with a lot of peaks over 7500ft and some hundred glacier lakes, one of them was our target but unfortunately we couldn't get there, weather got very bad at some point and we had limited time. So we had to settle for some smaller lakes as you can see in the pictures. Rest assured though, I will go there again so hopefully I'll come back with some more shots

Looks very interesting to me. The lanscape and weather kind of reminds me this trek I made down here in Argentina: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/12-post-your-photos/257641-landscape-4-da...0-10-17-a.html.
Retezat National Park: Noted for when I finally visit Romania. I got to know a few Romanians through work and they were all very nice, relaxed people.

Hey, How about a selfie

? I think I already shared it but this one has me in the frame

I'll show you the good stuff that usually tourists miss

Had the 15LTD out for some wonderful escarpment colours - used a CPL - resulted inn partial polarization on many frames - particularly noticeable in the clear blue sky ... sometimes I forget how wide 15mm is.

This is a view from near my home in upstate NY from Wed. afternoon. The Great Sacandaga Lake looking south from above the Conklingville Dam.

K5, DA 15, ISO 100, 1/200, f/16
