Boris,
I like the image. The fact that no part of it is in focus is intriging.
But for some reason I keep wanting to see it in a portrait orientation
with the dark gradation of the wall at the bottom of the frame. Would
be interesting to see how the Limited would render it.

David,
Wow, very nice! I like the colors and subtle tones all across the
image and the fact that a lot of detail still shows in the shadows.

Not sure what this one was searching for in the middle of a grass
field; a rodent maybe? I always thought they did most of their hunting
around the shorlines. This one was a good half mile away from the
water.

Ok, I'll put my newbie DSLR two cents in on this one. I could care less
about a new body announcement at PMA. Actually, I hope there isn't one
because number 1)I don't have the funds to get one right now, 2) I'm
still trying to figure out how to fully utilize the DS and DL bodies
capabilities
Bruce,
I'm just now seeing this fantastic image. Great sense of depth and nice
bokeh. A very nice composition. I just became an owner of this same
lens so it is especially exciting to see such great results. Now I
just have to spend more time here on the PDML learning from people like
you.
I have an extra DA 18-55mm kit lens for sale since I bought a DL with
less than 50 shots on it when I sent my DS in for repair.
As new condition with all packaging paperwork.
Asking $75 plus shipping and PayPal . Overseas would be a little extra.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I knew if I posted here I would get

Our family received a wonderful blessing today as our daughter Nicole
was released from the hospital with a positive medical prognosis. They
ran almost all the tests they could with the exception of a spinal tap
to rule out meningitis of which they were doubtful of anyway. All of
for your prayers and
encouragement. And may God bless you and your families.
Sincerely,

PDML'ers,
Please say a prayer for my daughter Nicole. Some of you may remember
the photos I usually post of my grandson; she is his Mom. She was
admitted to the hospital this evening. We do not know what is wrong
with her. She's been experiencing headache, chest pain and elevated
heart rate.
PDML'ers,
A shameless plug for for my eBay auction. A fairly good deal for entry

in March and they really are not bad for the money. I've only shot
twenty to to thirty images on each (if that much). I'm just getting

Verrry Nice! For fun try holding down the mouse and panning through

Did you have to use a specialized tripod head to make this image?
Again a fantastic job Rob.

Well,
At least in my mind it is. I couldn't resist (this time) the
opportunity to purchase an almost new FA 80-200 f2.8 zoom for my
*istDS. I'm eagerly awaiting delivery in the next several days. It
wasn't really in my plan, I'd been eyeing the shorter 28-70 f2.8 but
figured that one might be

Can anyone tell me if $1580 US is too much to pay for an excellent +

but I see that online retailers who were selling them seemed to have
them priced about $1350 to $1450. The one I am looking at is

Boris,
I really like the first shot. Although I am a little biased towards
building shots since I am an architect.
For me what works is not only the point of view, but the contrast
between built and the natural. Oh yeah the composition and choice of
border works well too.
