These are nice compositions, Brian. However, in addition to the brightness boost suggested, there is a slight green bias (see the RGB values for the "white" clouds) that I would want to correct if they were mine. For example -

Thank you for viewing and for the encouraging comments. It is a wonderful and tranquil place to visit - I have been several times and will keep returning to enjoy it and to take more photos in different conditions and seasons.

These were taken during a visit to Stowe Landscape Gardens this afternoon, to try out a new 40mm f/2.8 Ltd.

Another great Pentax lens - hope that is apparent in these images.

Leave it as it is, Alistair - the viewer is looking up the slope into the scene, so the brain expects to perceive a big sky, and it is an interesting one.

I have a general problem with brightness as I'm using a laptop and it depends how far I fold the screen back.
Just a reminder of what I'm sure you know, John, which is to make use of the white to black strip at the bottom of each forum page - just tilt the laptop screen until you see all the shades. Good photos from the MX-1 - the brightness of the one in the last post is good and shows off the camera well.

In the prices table on that link, the average percentage increase for the FA lenses is significantly higher than for the DA lenses. Might this indicate that Pentax expect an increasing demand for high quality full-frame K-mount lenses in the near future?

What a wonderful set. What impresses most is the dynamic range and shadow detail.
I agree.

Gary, you have praised the camera and lens combo, but can you also give a brief indication of how much PP was needed to produce these images?

Have you considered the DA 35mm F2.4 - only £129 at SRS, and it seems to get excellent reviews. You could then get the 21mm Ltd, and you would still be able to use a 49mm filter mount on all your primes.
