Thanks, Peter. Any idea if it is an easy fix?

Number2 is the stand out image. Nothing is in focus or in detail, but It just sums up what bonfire night is about.
9 is nice with the circular bokeh, but 8 is rather sinister..... expecting a dragon from William Blake's mind to emerge

Lovely shot Peter - I'd like to say it's all down to the quality of that beautiful lens, but I know the photographer has an even more quality eye
Interestingly enough this photo almost never saw the light of day. I stepped out yesterday afternoon with K1 + your lens with the aim of bridge photography. This was the first stop. I took about 10 pictures from the same vantage point at different apertures. I could see very slight overexposure on the histogram but thought I could get away with it. I should know by now that I cannot and if you look closely you can see the overexposed areas despite my aggressive pp skills. in addition I had to selectively bring out the exposure under the bridge to lead the eye into the shot. Good job this is a breeze with the K1 raw files.
But on first viewing I almost ditched the lot.
This is a classic example of what the eye sees as a pleasing image, can often be very difficult to photograph. We do not see high contrast subjects in the same way as a camera sensor does. Work is required in pp to bring out the best.
Having a quality lens does help of course

My twopeneth in here, Pentax need to hit the big market figures where wealth is growing. China, India etc. They need to be hitting huge numbers not necessarily with cameras but sport optics too.
"Huge numbers" sounds a great phrase too. Keep them coming

Hi Geoff,
not 100% about my advice...i think though to be a contender for POTW you would have to upload it as an individual image to the site gallery at a max of 1000 pixels on longest side. I'd vote for it if that were allowed ref POTW.
