The sixth one is, compositionally, the nicest one to my eyes. The warm sunshine in all of them is food for the soul!

And I moan about how much space the files from the K-3 take...

I wouldn't be surprised. The DoF of the 200mm/2.5 is thin at that range and the AF of the teleconverter is very limited at that range too and so one ends up having to combine manual and AF... probably easier just to turn the AF and pre-focus as I do with the S-M-C Tak 400mm!

The first image has pretty colours but my eye doesn't have anywhere to go. I don't know what to look at, if that makes any sense.

The second one, as others have said, needs something trimmed off top or bottom.

The last is the stand-out image for me, although I would try and shift the figure off being dead centre. Not sure I'd go with a square crop, but may be 5x4? In general, I find the default 6x4 an uncomfortable ratio for an image.

Just my halfpence worth, others will no doubt have other views.

For today's "Single in February" image on the US fora, I cheated slightly and paired the K200/2.5 with the 1.7AF teleconverter. Some CAs (common with this lens sadly) but not too bad overall, and better than I have had with the 1.7 on other lenses.

How odd. Most of the text was cut-and-pasted from the US posting where the link works fine! It is just a link to wikipedia.

Yup, as I said, the green came out almost black, I don't know why K.

It was a wet day and I was busy so I failed to take my "Single in..." challenge photograph for today for the US fora. As a result, I set up this small still-life this evening. Just a bit of fun and not perfect (the green egg cup looks almost black). For those missing the 1960s UK pop-culture reference, look here.

Ahhh, OK. Luckily mine is still within the warranty. Thanks folks, K.

This may be just me being dim, but is there some way of filtering the gallery to only see images awarded POTW? I very rarely visit the home page and have missed most of them, so it would be nice to see them all in one place.

Thanks, Kris.
