It looks a decent enough lens to me!

I notice they now have the K3 @ £549 (£250 less than the K3ii!).

A great shot and, as has been said, the church sits nicely to give the perspective.
However, what's wrong with you lot - you should try the Caen Hill flight at Devizes - there are around 35 locks in all there !
I did it with my son 10 years ago on a windy day and it took us 5 hours to complete, even with 2 'runners' going ahead and preparing the next lock ready for us.
THAT's what you call a Flight !
Best regards

According to Wikipedia there are 29 locks at Caen.A great shot and, as has been said, the church sits nicely to give the perspective.

You know what's going to happen next, someone is going to say they've done the biggest flight in the U.K. at Tardebigge with 30 locks !

Me and the missus have often thought about a holiday on a boat, on a canal...but I think I would steer clear of this place...sod that amount of locks, we'd be there all day, no?
Walking along a canal is a wonderful thing, you never know what you might see around the next bend and they can offer up a different perspective on our landscape. I am currently documenting the Calder & Hebble Navigation as well as the Huddersfield Broad and Narrow canals and they can be so rewarding for a photographer.
Apparently it takes about 4/5 hours of reasonable effort to clear all 21 locks in the flight! Too much for me.Me and the missus have often thought about a holiday on a boat, on a canal...but I think I would steer clear of this place...sod that amount of locks, we'd be there all day, no?

This is a 16th Century country house set in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside.
It was once owned by Danny la Rue!
Now a hotel and spa.
No great merit about this image - it was just a peaceful setting on a lovely November morning!

Yes, last Monday the weather was awful - this was today. A clear blue sky, a beautiful November morning.I like the composition. Had hoped to visit these last Monday but u it was so wet we had to abandon the idea, very nearly didn't get back to our hotel as the roads in the area were so flooded.
Hatton flight is well worth a visit, although at the moment they are doing repairs to one of the locks, so part of the canal is drained.

This is part of a flight of 21 locks, just outside Warwick.
In the background you can see the tower of St. Mary Church - it dominates the Warwick skyline.

Nice capture (on two counts) and it certainly looks like a pike.

Problem solved!
I had been downloading the file on my iMac.
As I was so frustrated I went to my Windows 10 laptop - straight through without blinking, so It can't be anything I was doing incorrectly.
I was surprised that the same download was suitable for both Macs and Windows?
Anyway, all's well that ends well - thanks for the input.
