Re: PESO - wake up call

I greatly enjoy Clergue's nudes. He seems to have pretty much invented the style of superimposing highly contrasting lines -- as from hard light through a venetian blind -- over the nude form. He also puts me in mind of Bill Brandt with his tightly framed bodyscapes. Sieff's style differs

Re: Peso-Tarky Shed

Seriously, Bruce, I feel the shed goes too dark immediately with even a tiny med-tone contrast boost. It's not the lens' fault, I focused on the shed from fairly close and the DOF couldn't cover it. Slightly darkened the grass in the right foreground. Seemed to have a softening glare. Thanks,

Thanks, all! The only thing I don't care for is the bokeh. I shot this at a variety of focal lengths and apertures, but the 50-200's bokeh is always slightly curdled rather than creamy. That's the price of small size and light weight, though, which are of increasing importance to me. Rick
