Very nice photographs. I couldn't help noticing a pink and turquoise "cast"
in the icy parts of some of the shots. Is this authentic?

i was in the Canadian Rockies for a single day to photograph two weeks ago.
managed to get there after a week of chinook conditions, so there's much
less snow than there ought to be for this time of the year.

the raven and bighorn sheep were shot with the FA 80-320/4.5-5.6 (which
appears to be discontinued) while the rest were all shot with the DA 14/2.8.
i've decided that i really don't like the bokeh on the 80-320.

overall, i have mixed feelings about the DA 14/2.8. on the one hand, it's
not got any noticeable vignetting, good flare resistance, and decent bokeh.
on the other hand, it's not as sharp as the DA 16-45/4. most of these images
were shot at f11 or f13 and should be at the maximum sharpness and
resolution of the lens. the difference isn't large, but it is noticeable.
i'll continue to use it as it's not that bad, but i was hoping for
performance exceeding that of the DA 16-45/4 given the relative price.
