What lens did you use?
Sigma 24-70 2.8 DG EX @ 24mm and f8, bare in mind you are looking at a crop taken from a fair distance away, several hundred yards in distance and 200 feet above the ground.

Thanks for the input Tim, Have struggled with the horizon, not sure if there is a straight or even perpendicular line in Iceland.
Have a look here for a re-worked version.

A very nice set, particularly No1. However, I do feel there would be a slight improvement if the reflected scene was just slightly darker than the top half. To me it would make them look a bit more natural.

Don`t Mind at all Mike.
Am happy for anyone to play with images I post, it`s one of the reasons I post them. Your version certainly is better than the original. Must get to grips with PS someday.

I struggled with the baby elephants, they would not come out of the shadows.
All handheld, minimum processing.

From this

To this

£30 saving in the click of a button.

Presumably ebay fees would make the sale more expensive than their own shop, perhaps I am missing something?

Not forgetting the Pentax soft lens pouch with the DA, not sure how useful it is though, mine has never left the box

Is anyone aware of a compatibility problem between a KX and a Sigma 24-70 zoom?
Reason for asking, had this lens on my K20 and it was fine, have sold it someone in Spain with a KX, he is reporting that it keeps jumping in and out of AF and is not metering correctly. Any ideas?
