Number 2 is excellent

Hi Lynton I can't understand why you sigma 70-300mm would be disappointing at the 300 end.When i owned one i had some excellent quality images at the 300macro end.

Advancements over cheaper kit lenses would be speed i.e f2.8 as opposed to f4' less chromatic aberrations' better quality glass and materials.That said it doesn't mean you can't get some awesome images from cheap or less expensive lenses.

Back to the sigma it's quite hard to hold steady when fully zoomed and requires a bit of light down the barrell.So do percivere

only my opinion

7day are excellent

Very nice simon the 1st and last for me.The greens from the first image look a bit bland as opposed to the last image where they look fine.

Compositionally(TYPO) 1 and three are the best.

I think the last one would have benefited from being taken in portrait style rather than landscape but it's still a nice image.

Only my opinion

I really like the first one Don the only thing that lets it down is the branches in the top left hand corner other than that very nice

Very nice coriander love the reflection stipes in the water
