All are marvelous but I do like 1 and 7 - particularly 1 because the shiny night lights tend to capture everyone's attention to the detriment of such lovely shots as your evening version.

Now get your 'A' series lenses out and see what you can now do with them!

It's great fun doing these and you got some great ice/colour effects from them. Another place to look is on your car. Lots of edges where everything stands up and contrasts can be had.

Everyone has to be right - the first one is a cracker! So are the others but that one has that bit extra.

The general opinion does seem to be very good. However, I was looking at A series 200mm macros a bit back. I noticed a couple of pictures looked similar then I began examining them. About 4 sellers were offering the exact same lens! It didn't look like laziness and use of stock photos, especially when they said things to the effect of "what you see is what you will receive." There was something going on there, without a doubt.
(shortly after that I realized that putting an A 100mm macro lens onto an F x1.7 AF adapter produced almost the same thing, so that was that).

Excellent - all of them.

Nice one.

When you see this sort of thing (and countless other examples) the urge to invoke the creationists' idea of 'intelligent design' on the part of a deity is hard to resist. The counter idea of blind evolution is even more of a miracle. When a photograph stirs ideas such as those, it has to be a good one!

Oh, Soreen Malt Loaf .... gimme, gimme! We haven't lit the open fire yet (but we will ere long). Then we get the toasting fork out. Hot toast from an open fire just cannot be mimicked or beaten! As to pikelets, M&S have produced some shaped like snowmen this year - they don't last long at all, albeit from the toaster.

K1 heavy? When did you last pick up a Canon? A professional friend handed me his recently and I nearly dropped it !
