Breaking out the "with all due respect" is never a good sign! Whether you say with all due respect or not basically what you're getting at with 3 paragraphs that I think I can sum up in one sentence is: "I think your pictures stink with whatever gear you happen to use and if you follow my link your pictures will be better".

I appreciate your suggestion, but respectfully disagree. I'll give you the picture of the lighthouse, lake and sky maybe isn't a very dynamic photo. The sun flower picture and the bridge photo were both carefully thought out and framed with the sky / ground in 1/3s. The sun flower photo I bent down to achieve a 2/3 sun flower and 1/3 sky point of view. The bridge is the opposite, 2/3 sky with the clouds and 1/3 bridge and river. Are either magazine covers? No, but they are decent for that day.

The primary point of a fast prime for me is to open up new doors with the ability to shoot fast without a flash. If it had some capability to also be used for sharper landscape photos that would be great too.
