I like it. The only thing that bothers me is the space to the left. Love the trees.

Thanks, still practising it all.

A very nice relaxing picture.

How about this one? It's grainier unfortunately and a little darker but does it look warmer? 2014_04_13_3059 by JayEssKay, on Flickr

It seems my comment on the picture actually got mixed up somehow - makes for interesting reading though ;) Thanks for your comments Byker - I did try to straighten the horizon but somehow it didn't quite work, I don't know if it's because it drops off to the left that it looks wonky. You are...

Ok, so as I have been having a look at everyone else's photos and putting in mFields by JayEssKay, on Flickry unqualified penny's worth, I thought I should post one in return.

I actually think I prefer no.1 in colour but if we liked the same things the world would be so boring. That just goes to show there is no right or wrong in photography, just personal preferences. I think they are both great shots by the way.

I'll have to keep my eye out for the lenses out of the kits then, thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the tips, unfortunately there isn't always enough room for a tripod as in this case. I was squeezed between a fence and a row of parked cars on a narrow verge so I couldn't even get a different vantage point. Focal points are definitely something I have to practice in landscapes...

I like the muted colours in no.2. For me personally there is too much going on in no.1 to make it effective as a black and white - do you have it in colour?

Love it, it is just oozing atmosphere.

I've seen that on Amazon, what's the position when it comes to the guarantee?

Aside from that, I think you guys have convinced me that the 15-85mm is the way to go. Thanks to everyone for taking the time

Sunshine at last by JayEssKay, on Flickr

Thanks dinorock, it worked :banana:. Right, I'm starting to think that maybe my monitor is the problem - I'm looking at this on a different one and it doesn't look too bad. If I remember rightly I focussed somewhere toward the end of the first bridge but to me the undergrowth doesn't look too...
