Well put Stefan!
My ( and I stress my ) opinion is this:
The (now previous) government brought in so many laws which eroded civil liberties. The laws were, for the most, poorly worded, allowing for mis-interpretation. Or, was this deliberate to allow for easily extending their use without having to go back before parliament?
An example. Anti-terrorism laws which enabled local councils to carry out surveillance led to a family ( including children ) being placed under surveillance. Their crime? They had applied for a place at the local primary school and the council didn't believe they were living where they said they were!
DNA. If I were to give my DNA as part of a police enquiry, even if I wasn't charged with any crime, the government would keep that on file permanently. Even the European courts have said that is illegal, but the UK government ( again, the previous administration ) just said they'd "consider the finding".
It is this kind of thing which has led to the mis-trust building up over the past decade to levels I have never seen before.

This framework was right alongside a barbed wire fence (attached) and I did not want to go into the field.
I do like the first shot, on second viewing. I agree with Mike about cropping the grass out.

But also consider the K200d or k10d - they arguably have even more to offer and aren't any more complicated to use, especially for someone with film slr experience.

3. Pentax
In the digital camera area, the number of single-lens reflex cameras sold sharply increased from the previous year, and overall sales rose despite fierce price competition with other companies.
As a result, sales for the quarter in this segment stood at 25,920 million yen. As for operating income and loss, the effects of cost cutting achieved via reorganization during the previous year produced an operating profit of 1,331million yen, showing a significant improvement in profitability compared to a huge operating loss for the same quarter one year ago.
