A lovely natural image Maria, not much wrong with this one! To echo some of the comments above, I think it needs just a bit more 'breathing space' around the main subject and maybe the wall is just a little bit too prominent in the composition.

However, I suspect that most of us would have been happy to have this one in our own portfolio!

I think it is the same with most complex electronic equipment that is driven by what is essentially a computer and software. I've never had any problems with my K-3 since buying it in November 2013 and based on its performance I would class it as a 'superb camera'. I appreciate others may not have been as fortunate, but I can only state my own experiences. For me my K-3 is head and shoulders above my K-5IIs.

I can see the halo on the first one too, although notwithstanding this it is a lovely image.

My favourite is the third one, it is beautiful. I think also it could be even better with a crop to the bottom to remove some of the sand that isn't really playing a part in the composition.

Thank you to everyone for your input on this thread, as mentioned it is 'Autumnlight's' turn next week, I'm sure we are all looking forward to Maria's five images.

Last one in the series tonight. This is more like my 'standard fare'; I'm posting it because I like it! This is the Church at Letwell, a small hamlet on the South Yorkshire / Nottinghamshire border close to Oldcotes and Tickhill. To me, this is a typical English Country scene. Shot with the K-5IIs and Sigma 17-70 F2.8-4 HSM OS lens.

Finally, you are in for a treat next week as I have passed the Baton to Maria, otherwise known as 'Autumnlight'. Please show Maria some support for the beautiful images I am sure she will post.

Best wishes

Congratulations, you caught the moment perfectly!

Hello again! Thank you for your comments on the first three so far. Here is number four; it's an iconic location, so how on earth do you do something original here? My take was to isolate a part of this stunning and ancient building and make sure I got the exposure right, which was not easy! This was shot with the K-5 and DA 17-70 lens. Please give me your opinions!

4. The Pantheon

I would avoid like the plague for many reasons, not least when I see an item with this description:

"Pentax Lumix DMC-GH3 Mirrorless Digital Camera (Black) New"

Can we have a link to one of the items please?
