The LR3 lens correction will only correct distortion in the form of curved lines I believe. The lady's face in number 3 is just a result of being too close to the corner of the frame on the 10-20.
Didn't know that. I assumed it corrected the whole frame. I will watch out for it in future.

Is the very top of the temple missing in the original?
It's actually all there, just very close to the top of the frame. I have a few others I will have a look at thought, to see if I gave it a bit more room in any of them. Otherwise I will try increasing the canvas size and putting in a bit more sky.

Here's another shot from the market. Homemade sidecar stall attached to scooter....

Strange, Gareth, I thought her face a bit distrorted too, but I used the lens correction feature in LR3

Dental work is both cheap and good in Thailand: I needed root planing done (to get rid of some gum disease) which is both difficult to get done in the UK or here as it's only done by a few dentists. Not very pleasant though. It's about a 3rd as much as in the UK and a 5th as much as here, so it paid for my wife's holiday

The colours in the first shot David are down to some very nice light the afternoon we went to the temple. Shortly I will get around to putting some more on Flickr. The Sigma 10-20 is my favourite lens at the moment!

Congrats Geordie, and the podium places. I

I took a shot a few days ago and forgot to post it in time too! It wasn't up to the standard here anyway.

Well, at a third of the price and with nice things too look at and eat (mouth allowing) after visits to the dentist, it's a no brainer!

Still got a sore mouth tho...had 14 crowns fitted!

We got back from Thailand a few days ago, I spent a lot of time at the dentist, but managed to get a few shots. My wife got some great shots which I am trying to persuade her to post here!

All taken with the K7 and Sigma 10-20.
C+C welcome

Lovely set, 1,4,5,8 and 12 are all great shots, I especially like the window in 4, though it looks a bit noisy. Number three confuses me, I assume it's a later edition to the base, or was Jimi Hendrix a time-traveller?

Lamp post with a view is a lovely shot, the hazy almost mono background sets off the lamps beautifully. The second alleyway shot is my pick of those shots. Nice set!

Lovely set, the last one is my favourite, with the third coming a close second.

I liked all the people in the shot, and decided to crop it to concentrate on them. I added a layer which I blurred using Topaz Detail, then selectively erased parts of the layer before flattening and resizing the image.
