In this case what do you mean by "depth of field", do you mean the lead in to the subject. It's me being thick, I can't see the relationship to the focal lenght of the lens.

Sorry Barrie my mistake, the penalty of typing whilst listening to my other half talking about something totally different. I meant the lead in. I so often want to catch the vastness of what I see, quite often I am shooting from harbour walls leaving me high above any subject, maybe I should get a kayak?

I particluarly like nos. 1 and 4. Good composition, strong colours and excellent highlight and shadow details. The latter not easy to achieve under the circumstances.
Best wishes,

Andrew

No's 2 & 4 for me. Number 2 just works so well. It's a brochure shot.

Well seen, captured and presented.

Just love 'Cliff House' (the first). I wouldn't change a thing.

I gladly welcome C & C's. Being foggy minded they really help me learn.

I really like them all

For the last two I like number II because the... "pier" is in the centre enforcing the sense of depth the later one has that less.

Very nice - especially the water reflections on #1. The only thing I don't like about them is that they're making me consider getting a 16-45 despite the fact that I need a faster lens!

I noticed you have a Sigma 10-20, where do you feel that it fails causing you to want a 16-45, I tend to use mine between 16 & 18mm? I only ask because the 10-20 is probably my next purchase, although I had promised myself that I would save up for better quality or faster lenses from now on, I still want a DA* 300
