Only 6 made wow and we wonder why there is so few long fast glass made for pentax.

love the pheasant shot too

I agree wih alan number 2 is outstanding and offers a very different perspective

Another vote here for the 50-135mm

Could explain why third party makers are dropping Pentax mount for their new lenses, I see Sigma are not doing a Pentax version of the new 50mm art lens so at that rate you won't need to complain about rip off prices but rather why are they not producing Pentax mounts lenses...

Is that social networking or is it photo agency stealing images and then trying to sue the infringed photographer for copyright infringing his own images? I would say more the latter...

I think Facebook and social networking has been brilliant for photography, put an old photo on Facebook and the amount of comments it gets is phenomenal. I also love the idea of no matter where I am in the world I can always look at my family photos online, particularly when I am away without ever having to carry any around with me.

Instagram is even better for this which I think is why so many young people have dropped Facebook for networks like instagram, as well as the "mums and dads all use Facebook...

Yes I agree but I was thinking from a client perspective. I've had females reject portraits for the strangest of reasons over the years and you never know what's next

I don't think the faces look dull at all. Try one of the lightspheres from 7 day shop to make the on camera flash more diffused and softer.

I like em all but they could be a little better.

Curious as to what lighting you are using as the catchlights in number two look a little 'dotted' I can also see your reflection in the eyes of number two which I think would look better cloned out and maybe the catch light making square would help clone 'you' out. I think getting the flash of camera would help with this.

Whilst the compositions are good I don't think many girls would be happy with their hair being strayed as in number two, I would be tempted to closer crop vertically to lose the stray hairs.

For doing paid work I have two trains of thought. Do what you like and attract clients who like what you do or do what the client wants you to do. I find most of the time majority of clients don't know what they want in the first place.

Yes I seem to be turning into a right turn coat lol
