Thank you Cliff and Stefan

Stefan, you are right, it was almost impossible to get the water on the table into the composition also. I was already struggling trying to frame as it was, and if I attempted to include the lower part then would not look nice from the top.
But I have somewhere one in the batch that you might like it, , I think I can follow your thought process and one that I am just about to process has all the hallmarks like what you are trying to say, about including the bottom part. Let me see if I can dig it out :0

Thank you for your comments

Is it me or is there really a man hanging on to the side of this wine glass?
I hope its not my mind now playing tricks and starting to see things where they don't exist

C&C as always greatly appreciated

Jack, you are right, I think I overdid it, a bit heavy on the sharpening.
I noticed it later, I think the canal ones are worse

is that what Dan and Danny were doing then? I really thought they were enjoying an afternoon nap on that nice cool looking grass

Pentax 12-24mm now sold.

Just the Samsung 12-24mm left if anyone still interested. Will consider trading also if anyone has anything that interest me such as the lenses mentioned earlier.

Thanks for looking

Andrew, I know what you mean about being lucky just capturing one of these little beauties.

I was lucky when I got a few of them and this is one of the batch, somehow that place in the image does look familiar, is it the Rye Meads centre by any chance? That's where I got this one

Also check this thread and read particularly the link that Mike has put in there, it explains a lot about various TCs

Mike is right, it has to be labelled 1.4X Pz-AF MC4 to work with SDM.
I have one in mint condition, with original Asahi Pentax labelled caps, and boxed. Hardly used, got it just a few days before I bought my Pentax 1.7x Adapter, and then since the 1.7x came I haven't used it again.

I would consider selling it at a good offer if interested. Tried with all my SDM lenses

Sorry there was a mistake on my comment above regarding DA*50mm, what I meant to write was DA*55mm and wrote 50mm instead.

Thanks for pointing that out grenolds999

Well, I have played with the Pentax 12-24mm since I bought it from one of the forum members link and its superb, just not a lot of oportunity to use it lately. I seem to be spending more and more time doing Macro and also I have the 16-45mm for the occasional landscape. And I also have some of the Samsung 12-24mm version new left which I have put on e-bay.

I want to sell the Pentax to fund a Sgima 180mm Macro.

So here are the options:

A- Selling the Pentax 12-24mm for exactly the same price I bought £400 plus postage, (No pouch included). Still 17 months warranty left and as it was bought from SRS it will be transferable. (Thinking about, it with the prices gone so high I think this might be quite cheap so when I put on e-bay by the end of the week if no member is interested I might bump up the price).

B-If anyone prefers the Samsung 12-24mm version one its brand new for same price plus postage.

C- Or if anyone wants to trade the Pentax I will consider a few options. I will consider a Sigma 180mm Macro lens or a Pentax DA*50mm, obviously with some cost adjustments. If someone has a DA*50mm and interested in trading then I will have the 16-45mm also to throw in as it will be surplus for my needs. All prices if trading negotiable.

Lastly, if anyone has anything tradeable and interested in one of the lenses I am selling then let me know as I am open to suggestions and negotiations.

I am in a very negotiating mood today , must be all that drink and smoke, ha

Thank you.
