Thanks, Disco!
That are some very nice shots as well. The effect you achieved with the Lee filters look like a combination of long exposure combined with a polariser?

Thanks TenZ.NL.

yeah they're both LE shots , the 1st one was shot with a Lee 1.2 ND ( 4 stop ) filter and 0.9 grad soft ND.but exposure wasn't very long so clouds and reflections still look relatively sharp.post processed them both in photoshop and using Nik's software increased the structure , the 2nd image I did use a lee bigstopper and 0.9 gnd. I have a lee circ polariser (105mm) but I cannot use that with sigma10-20 as it causes sever vignetting on the same foundation holder that I use for Da15. I'm thinking of a dedicated foundation holder for the 15 just to use the circular polariser with ring permanately attached.

It's been really wet around here lately. The woods around my house are beginning to look like a mountain jungle. A bit of cropping here but no loss of sharpness due to the DA15's awesomeness!

More over the top color. Now with dark skies!

I like the over the top color for this series of photos you took.....matched with the 15mm's perspective, it gives it a surreal feel. I like the foreground shadows as well.

Thanks! Having that carnival across the street from my house for a week is a pretty surreal experience!

I like these as well, but the B/W scene really did the trick for me with this lighting/landscape.

Thanks. Yes, it was a hard scene to capture -- not a whole lot of background detail, just foreground and I tried color and black and white -- I do think the B and W is better though.

I found it surprisingly good for flower shots.

Nice lily photo and I wholeheartedly agree about using this lens on flowers...its close focus ability is both a unique and useful quality that can be sometimes overlooked. For example these were taken last month early one morning in our garden...
