Where did this come from?? I just love this!!! The roundness of the apple against the square of the pickets. You clever devil you. What a lovely shot. The blues are given a little lift by the red and yellow of the fruit.

I really liked this one and thought it should've scored higher than it did- oh well, can't win them all (well, I never win them hehe). Very pleasing comp.

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

Absolutely great photo Robert! WOW! The perspective is one thing, but the shot is another! Very nice work! The clarity throughout the DoF is amazing.

This is great! I love the colors and sharpness and the viewpoint makes for an interesting shot from a mundane subject. Well done!

Wonderful lighting, that's what stands out to me the most about this photo. Also, great DOF. Great job.

As a collector of antique cameras, I enjoy this picture. I wouldn't call it a winner but it makes me smile and that's enough for me.
