I enjoyed how this turned out. I had a shot I thought I could make something from but it took me a bit of playing to figure out what. I like the illusion that the bottom is wider than the top and that it does not really look like what it is (so I will leave that to you as to whether it is obvious or not).

I like the image, but my wife doesn't (she prefers the original), so I would be interested in opinions as to whether it works or not.

Great detail, love the reflection too. The High pass filter works really well on eyes, as you have shown to great effect here!

Am I correct in understanding that just two images are required in this comp?

I used to use it on the K7 all the timey, and it worked very well. It is way out on the K5, and the amount it is out varies considerably each time I switch the camera on, so it is completely useless! I don't understand why it is not re-settable by the user. I haven't tried the automatic levelling, but wonder if that is out too, since presumably the two functions get their information from the same source.

The level in my K5 is way off and utterly useless which is a major disappointment especially as the one on the K7 was spot on. However, living in Doha means I would be without a camera for a long time if I send it back so I live with it. It is extremely annoying though to have such a useful feature in an expensive camera that does not work as it should. If I was in the UK I would probably send it back. I am hoping someone comes up with a fix for it.

Well done JudithAnn and Iqbal. Apologies for not entering I had an idea based on generations of aircraft but only managed to get two shots of the three required and they weren't much good anyway.

Nice set! #1 is my favourite, very dramatic;it looks slightly overcooked to me though.

onOne are giving away some free plugins and presets for Lightroom, ACR and Aperture. link I have tried some of them and think they are worth a look.
