Thank you for all of your comments and pointers, it's really useful.

Cheers Smeggy. I've already created 2 layers on the statue and abbey to boost contrast and brightness, then to dodge. Do you think it needs a bit more punch?

Sometimes I wonder if I am being hampered by using only a laptop without a decent monitor.

Pentaxophile, Smeggy, thanks and I think you are spot on, I have looked at it cropped as you suggest and it is an even more powerful image.
Paul, yes I addressed the CA in colour and it reared it's head in BW

Just been re-working some of the Whitby shots and I managed to come up with this.
I do think there is something to be said for leaving your shots for a while and then re-visiting them.
Not sure if the wall should be in or out though....any one have an opinion?

Think you've been had link

I thought it held exposure value whilst you recomposed the shot?

Hi thanks for that John. I don't want the 8 16, as I understand this is more of a fish eye effect? Also impossible to fit filters.

Misfuds have 7 available of the 10 20 @ £349 link

I am mainly using the 16 45 at the moment, often shooting at the 16 end.
Would I see much of a difference with the 10mm?

Cheers

I'm just about on the verge of buying this lens. Quite a few other forum members have it and was wondering if there is ant major difference between the f3.5 and the f 4.5 apart from aperture size?

Thanks KM. Congrats to Geordie and the runners up.

KM, thanks for adjusting my shot, I faffed around with it for ages trying to get it to look right in terms of being level and something with the perspective of the railings kept throwing me out.
As daft as this may sound I just needed to set the horizon level and leave the rest alone - which you did, so thanks for that.
The foreground bit I took out......then put back in. Personal taste.

Thanks again for the quick judging.

Dave I want to go to the Leeds Exposure thing, where do I get a ticket?
