Hi Denise...


As the members have mentioned, this is a difficult shot nonetheless however I have taken liberty of slightly modifying one of the images that most if not all respondents have acknowledged, hope you like it...(if this is a concern, please let me know and I'll remove the image)...

I had some time to kill as I'm in between work projects at the moment. IMHO, this seems to be easier on the eye.

BIG improvement! Thank you, Emilio! You have proven what I didn't like about it to begin with! My photos are much to drab and you have added just enough brightness and color to make it appealing to the eye! I still would like to capture alittle more green on the trees in a few weeks if I can ...hmmm ...maybe even some birds. There were a few red-winged blackbirds around but we'll see what else this pond attracts soon!

Thank you again, Emilio! Did you use Photoshop for this?

Hi Denise...


Good stuff....I used Adobe Lightroom to adjust the colors a tad and the crop overlay function.

Hi Denise,


My opinion is that these are nice photos. I am a little distracted in several of them with the top of the tree cut off. I

Thanks, Brant! Well, I used the 24-105mm and was at 24mm for the wide shots ...why did I sell my 17-55mm!!! I could have used it on two occasions today! It is at the top of my list to buy another!


The last one I shot in Monochrome but the one I took right before that is in color (shown below) ...




Yep, need my old lens back!

I wondered why you did that, to be honest. [:S] Since your widest lens is now 24mm, with the 1.6x crop that's ~38mm which technically is in the 'normal' range and leaves you without a wide angle lens at all...


But, since you have a great lens starting at 24mm, you might want to consider the EF-S 10-22mm. Alternatively, if you are sure you'll either add or swtich to a 5DII/III soon, don't want to be bothered buying then selling an EF-S lens, and didn't feel a need to go wider than your 17-55mm, you might consider the 17-40mm f/4L - it's not as good optically on a crop body as the 17-55mm, but it's substantially cheaper and will be an ultrawide angle on FF.

+1. The EFS 10-22 may make a lot of sense.....or, I can see this as being enough rationale topick up the 5DII.[]
