I'm thinking of selling my SMC Pentax-A f/2.8 20mm and buying the 17-45. Would I be disappointed at the wide end? The edge definition of the 20mm is great but I would like the zoom range.

One difference is in the RAW file sizes. The Nikon can get approx. 100 RAW files on a 512MB card, whilst the Canon gets approx. 70 images.
How come my *ist D can only get about 34 RAW files on a 512MB card? All three cameras have 6 megapixel sensors so why the vast difference in RAW file sizes?

I got as far as " ... paint through with Black to blend the qualities of both layers"
Can you explain this step in a little more detail, please?
Thanks.

I've yet to master the double layer technique, but the new uploaded photos have more overall punch due to all your help.
Now to try the double layer.

I shot the photos with the 20mm, 50mm and 75-300mm lenses at ISO400 to give a shutter speed of between 1/500and 1/1500 at around f/8.
Quite a lot of work was necessary in Photoshop as the shots were taken through the Perspex window which took away most of the contrast and sometimes caused unwanted reflections.
