http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6799882 Colour version is here.: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6799869 K10D, fa 100 f2.8 macro Dave =============== This scene has a lot to recommend it, nice shapes and repetitive patterns. I've looked at it several times now. I prefer the B&W. However, in both versions, the base of the second tree (the one in the background on the right) is blurred. It's not just shallow DOF, the whole area around the base of the tree is sort of mushed and pixelated looking. The rest of the photo, things even further back, are not as mushed, so therefore I don't think it's just DOF. Condensation on the lens at that point? Something in post processing? Almost looks like fingerprint. That blurry section really distracts from the whole photo for me. Wasn't sure whether to mention it or not, but, heh, now I have.
