Lovely shot of the Robin, I would crop it a lot more. Apart from that colours etc are great. Might even persuade me to try that lens. I once had a 50-200 DA Pentax and was annoyed to get dust behind the front lens element inside, VERY quickly. I wonder if this new zoom suffers from the same?

Thanks John, I take your point on the Woodpecker so I had a look through some of my other shots and found this Robin which I think is a better example. To be fair to the Woodpecker it was shot through my kitchen double glazing

Is there some sensor dirt on the right hand side, above Robin's head 1.5" to the right and below the leaf?

I was out at Schloss Heidegg in Switzerland last week-end, lovely place, but the gardens were really nice.

This shot F 8, 1/180, ISO 100 is from there.
Pentax K10D and 21mm Limited

Not surprised with the bee, this was the best of several.

The first one is taken here at http://www.tierpark.ch/ in Central Switzerland. They have a largish pond with an equally big underground viewing area.

I have added some images taken with my ist DL and a Leica Digilux 1 that I rather like.

The first two are taken using old M lenses 20mm then 200mm

Very sad indeed to see from a distance the country I was born being taken over by PC-everything. Very sad indeed.

Personally I blame the PC brigade (politically correctness) for much of this nonsense, they are screwing up this lovely country of ours; bah bah black sheep, is just one example

What are the "rights" of an amateur photographer?
