Good detail, composition and exposure. A nice diffused background.

Good photo.

The Pentax 55-300 is a cracking lens and this photo is a good advert.
Friendly Regards
Graham

You’ve got this bf in most effective manner, Jim.. perching at the top of a beautiful wild flower, .. isolation is perfect, so is also colour rendering, .. nonetheles IMHO the bf needs to be a bit darkened

Thanks Nuri, I darkened the BF and I think it improves the image

Thanks Graham and Larry

That's a beautiful shot Jim, i've just noticed the ISO, if i go anything above 400 with the K7 the noise creeps in!

No magic Maria just the wonderful Neat Image noise reduction software, you can get a free version as a stand alone application or a plug-in for Photoshop. The only draw back with the free version is you can't edit large file sizes with it.

Top notch again Jim, you must have a cracking copy of the 55-300 lens. I thought mine was good, but yours looks superb (or you are a much better photographer than me!)

Yeah my copy isn't that sharp at 300mm, and needs stopped down to F11 to get respectable!

Refund please.
