Yes, it was by me, and I have seen my post, oh, well, posted, but when I came back some minutes later it disappeared, so I reposted.

Weird... Reality glitches, someone's tinkering in the Matrix?

Hello and welcome

Congratulations to all winners and to The Judge It's so difficult to review pictures, give them constructive critique and choose winners. Scary thing to win the competition, isn't it?

In my K20D it's in
Menu / Playback / Playback Display / Bright Dark Area

You should find it in the manual though - it's worth reading and getting back from time to time checking new things - I found it really useful (although not too versatile).

It's beautiful, and I must admit that the out of focus butterfly adds depth to the picture.

Hello Mike and welcome

That's weird - I posted that topic, but it disappeared? Sorry if shows twice then.

I took these pictures 2 weeks ago - am I right these are rooks?
Both pictures handheld, DA 55-300mm @300mm, full crop (100% scale) - They were a bit far. The first one was taken with shutter 180, so it's a bit unsharp. The second was better, but there is some purple fringing and I really couldn't get the 'shades of black' correct - it was all black or noisy. I tried my best - and I'm afraid it is not that good. What do you think?
