Foreground or background which would you have focused on?
I agree with Gareth, but in a slightly different way. Taking a single image with a small aperture, say F13 or smaller would have got everything in focus. You might have needed a tripod though, depending on shutter speed. Cheers David :D

Foreground or background which would you have focused on?
I think it is too busy with everything in focus. There is nothing to draw the eye, whereas with the lighthouse in focus you are drawn through the frame of driftwood to it. I wonder about a crop with less beach and sky, therefore also less driftwood?

I agree about the all in focus - I haven't gotten around to process it yet so I will try your crop ideas when I do :-) I think it is too busy with everything in focus. There is nothing to draw the eye, whereas with the lighthouse in focus you are drawn through the frame of driftwood to it. I wo...

#1 The wood stack is too dominant to be the out of focus element

This is what I love about Photography no real rules, everyone can disagree and all be right! beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I 'developed' both from RAW as an exercise as I am learning some new software. I tried the crops suggested by gwyn but to be honest I simply didn't like it, I f...

Foreground or background which would you have focused on?
Regarding your original question, 1 or 2. It depends on what story you're wishing to say. In a series of lighthouse shots, having the lighthouse in focus makes sense. If it was a series of photos on survival techniques, the pile of driftwood given the prominence might be more apt. As a purely picto...

Judges are always hot on out=of=focus foregrounds.

Judges are always hot on out=of=focus foregrounds. Do you mean hot on condemning then or hot on encouraging them??

Blue tit redux
lovely detail kris, focus might be slightly off around the head ( but that could be my eyes) but generally a nice image.

Blue tit redux
I wouldn't be surprised. The DoF of the 200mm/2.5 is thin at that range and the AF of the teleconverter is very limited at that range too and so one ends up having to combine manual and AF... probably easier just to turn the AF and pre-focus as I do with the S-M-C Tak 400mm!

On Salisbury Plain, yesterday. K5, 150-500 @ 440. From the raw image in Elements 11. Handheld, manual focus. Any thoughts? Roger.

3, 4 and 5 are my choices from this pleasing set. In 4, I might try cropping off most of the out-of-focus sand so that the wet sand begins in the bottom right corner. Cheers. Philip

Back down to earth
I took a gamble on a Sigma 135-400 APO DG that was on ebay - could not afford to go the full 'Bigma' route, but am hoping that this will give me some options on longer than 300mm throw... Took it out for a stroll around local airport last weekend - this was the best capture of the afternoon
