Sorry, can't stand that selective D-sat look anymore. And, I'm sorry to say, I don't feel like you make terribly original use of the technique. And just using a technique won't give you high scores on here. I know from my own experience.

Try to focus on getting a well composed, nicely lit, sharp picture that makes good use of perspective and DOF and that is a little more ORIGINAL.

No offense, please, I'm just trying to help.

Cheers,
Bruce

PS: gave you a 6 for on topic, technically sound but not very exciting

Love the perspective, composition, the groovy feel of the picture. Technically excellent, too, great use of B&W.

Nice shots, Robert. I have to agree with the others and I love my 10-22, too. What a Alienyst and Justin don't seem to realize is that the DOF automatically grows to enormous depths with an extremely short focal length. That's why compact digital cameras with a short zoom fail to produce even the faintest touch of OOF back- or foreground (except maybe in macro mode or fully zoomed to the tele end with a huge difference in distance between lens and subject and lens and fore- or background respectively). The Fuji 602 I used before I got my 20D was the equivalent of a 35-210 but the focal length of the lens was something like a 6 to 36 and it was only at the full tele end that you could make a little use of DOF as a creative element in your pictures. Now with the 10-22 it's similar, i.e. you can hardly get OOF elements in your picture, even when the lens is wide open, BECAUSE the short focal length doesn't allow for anything but huge DOF.

Sorry if I sound preachy here, was just wondering if people realize that the DOF is practically out of the photographer's control when it comes to using a 10mm lens.

Cheers,
Bruno

very nice shot, but I wouldn't exactly consider the steps the main subject here.

Seven Cranes in the Distance

Comment:
nice picture, reminds me of one of my own... too bad the seven part is not very convincing (I count anywhere between 4 and 10) and the cranes aren't exactly the main subjects.

Grapes!

Comment:
nice composition. grapes might look a little more natural with less JPEG compression. Your file can be up to 150KB, this is just over 15! I'm not particularly fond of the shallow DOF in this image.

nice, classic image. too bad about the dust specks in the sky/on your sensor.
