Wonderful mix of surreal and poignant images.

Nice set. I think if the focal length works for you, you can't go wrong with this little lens! There are sharper ones but the contrast and colour is really good.

Bargain!

Keep snapping and keep posting, and perhaps have a go at some of this site's competitions - the subjects will make you think about what you are shooting, and traditionally the judge provides detailed feedback. Reading through the comments on the other shots, and thinking 'do I agree with this?' also could be quite helpful.

Good shots David, but I'm going to break ranks and say that these look quite noisy, I'd be satisfied if my K7 turned out such a result but perhaps would expect cleaner results from the K5. Are you sure you were working at ISO3200?

Almost HDR like on 3 and 4, but not in a bad way. I see a similar look to Some of Smeggy's recent shots, so it must be something about the K5 and the post processing latitiude it has? I like the expression caught in no. 6.

I don't like that at all - not very elegant. I'm not sure how it can be an advantage as the camera will still need a bag to carry it along with its accessories. It might as well be a DSLR.

Very cool shots, I like no. 5 and 11, both using the wall to create a split composition.

Puma. It's not suprising you feel put off, when a moderator, no less, comes along and makes such thoughtlessly harsh comments. Actually I thought shot 4 had something, the glimmer of an interaction between the subjects. So for a first outing, you should certainly not be hanging your head in shame.

This site puzzles me at times, with heavy handed moderation of the most pernickety things, but then comments like that don't solicit any response.
