I'd have to go to the sub-prime market to buy this lens!!!

Very nice! The color is great, the focal point, composition & DOF are just right. Good bokeh, too.

This is really a pretty scene. It is so well balanced, and the quality of the morning (or evening) light is nice.

There are some really amazing photographs in this month's Free Study, but this one is my favorite. This is just incredible.

Bicycle and Orange Wall

I like the colors, and composition. There are two simple things that would improve this photo a lot. First, I would rotate it CCW to straighten the walls. Viewed from any angle, vertical lines are always vertical. Of course wide angle lens will distort those lines, but in opposite directions. The second thing I would do would be to crop it a little to eliminate the other buildings.

Looking at your camera settings, I was wondering if you used a tripod to take this photo. 1/80th of a second is a little slow for hand held. Since you didn't need a lot of depth of field for this shot, I think I would have opened the aperture a couple of stops, and used 1/125th of a second for the shutter speed.

This one is my favorite of your series. I think it's because you can see his eyes and concentration on the curve. From this POV, it appears that he is defying gravity...nice shot!

The moment I saw the thumbnail, I knew it was yours. This is really great in all respects.
