#4 for me - nice shot! I think it just needs a touch more contrast - the tarmac and grass are a little washed out) and unsharp mask filter just before you upload, just to correct the softening that happens when you resize the image. (Say 300% at 0.2 pixels radius or whatever looks best).

Another vote for a non crippled K-mount!

I would like a smaller more streamlined camera (even though my K200D is not massive, it's a lot bigger than my favourite Pentax film cameras). I'm happy to retain a lot of features as menu options or accessed via the fn button, to keep the body uncluttered.

In fact a lot of features I can do without altogether - scene modes and digital filters for example.

Great work Pauly, not just the excellent photo, the whole project. Can't agree on the death penalty though, after seeing a lot of desperately sad stories from across the pond.

Stayed near here with my partner last year (at The Hayloft in Gileston). The powerstation and shoreline were impressively bleak! Missed this spot though - would be interesting to see some exteriors. I agree with Mike re the shots, but flakes is my favourite because of the directional light on the surface.

No... it would be hard to streamline when there are only two bodies available!

I agree with Stefan, I think the K-x is a great draw for Pentax... people are willing to pay more and come to a lesser known brand when high end features are available for a very competitive price.

Pile em high and sell em cheap seems to work better for the 'default choice' brands like Nikon and Canon than it has for Pentax I imagine.

Fabulous modelling on the buildings. For me, the vignetting is a bit strong, I'd ease off a bit, but the dark sky and water really set off the buildings incredibly well.

Yeah that's right, getting my rivers mixed up! I meant the big suspension bridges Including the one visible from Severnbeach

A boat trip round the floating harbour (where ss Great Britain is) would be a nice idea. Changing perspective of the city from new to old, and plenty of colourful and idiosyncratic boats.

Millenium square and Cabot circus are good for urban shots.

Severnbeach has an interesting estuary walk, and the two Avon bridges are worth a look!

Sometimes that just happens Pauly. I was very glad to see you posting again. Was beginning to think something terrible had happened to you (such as defecting to C@non) and even checked your website to make sure.

You're one of this site's best and most interesting photographers in my opinion, and i'm sure i'm not alone in thinking that...
