You're right, the grass is sharper. Not sure why, I suspect the focus is on the base of the petals (if you look at the bottom-right petal, which is in about the same focal plane as most of the grass, that is significantly sharper than the other petals; in addition, the top of the blade of grass seems out of focus). I'm also wondering if maybe there's a blown red highlight because of the lack of detail upper-left petal (but that could be just focus). -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
