Sasha,

You better like your new camerawith that lens, you're shooting  
about $2,300 worth of new, nice gear!


I have a K5 on order right now. (This is my first major step up since  
buying a K10D at the end of 1007.) I ordered it with the weather  
sealed version of the 18-55 and the extra grip. I'm hoping the order  
will be filled before I take a trip to D.C. on the last day of  
January. I'll be romping around D.C. with wife and my son for about 10  
days.


We'll be staying with my son who lives in Alexandriaone totally  
hip town.

somewhat towards the low part of the frame.


The portrait of a girl looking sideways leaves me indifferent.

Sasha, I cannot help but notice that the top right corner of your

 I had to lighten up the bottom half (gradient filter in lightroom),
 tweak contrast  color balance a bit.

 As for the dark one - it was not so dark out of the camera. I like

No reflection on the others, but the first one, the landscape with the fog or 
haze beyond the hills, is magical. More like a painting than a photograph. But 
I like most of your landscapes.
