Looks like an OOF object in the background to me. A post maybe.

Good effort, it's a very good lens.

Thanks Gwyn. Perhaps I'm overdue for a trip to Specsavers then.

Both of these images are actually pin sharp in Lightroom but the process of exporting them, reducing their size, importing into Picassa, then uploading to Web Albums . . . they lose something on the way.

By the time they get here, they don't look sharp to me.

One more . . . the first was taken with the 31mm Ltd. For this one, I used the 12-24mm @ 12mm.

Do you have an almond blossom festival?
Not in these parts as far as I know Gwyn.

The trees in my photo are on the north side of the Sierra Espuna where some of the trees haven't even blossomed yet. I live on the south (warmer) side where the blossom has almost gone and the leaves are now showing.

I think the trees have blossomed early this year as it's been relatively mild in the last 4 - 6 weeks.

Thanks for the update. Glad to know you are on the road to getting it sorted.

I suppose I'll have to paint the fence instead
