Hmmm --- is that a halo I see around the bug's antennae?Dear Xpixel
again a great eye! I am sure there will be the 'oversharpened' comments on the roses (and, they may be) but not the others
really nailed the last one

Yes, but the good new is there is no CA in the highlights of the water droplets.Hmmm --- is that a halo I see around the bug's antennae?
Thanks Mark. Don't worry... I won't try to tempt you. I know you want the 30-90.David, I like these photos. Based on the crops shown on your blog, the Leica 35mm Summarit S looks very good. I am afraid to try it out in fear that I won't be able to hold out for the 30mm - 90mm zoom.
I see it pretty clearly along his hind leg as well, then also as a dark line along the edges of the in-focus petals. If you look at the in-focus edges of the petals in the second photo they're pretty obvious as well, though in flora halos get camouflaged because we're not certain they don't look that way in real life. However to be fair, halos from a raw file aren't generally the camera's or lens' fault, rather somewhere in the chain the sharpening radius was too large or the amount was too high or both.Seriousy, you have a good eye Jack. The odd thing is that I don't see halo anywhere else in that image.
Well Victor you can say whatever pleases you but the truth is it is all about controlling sharpness in different media and something that many need to learn. You have to realize this is a learning forum and people will critique and comment on images to try and help folks. If I see something out of whack I WILL bring it up regardless of WHO or WHAT shot it.Dear Xpixel

Are you doing a 'fauna in flora' seiries? or do you you like these kinds of shots?

And I reallly enjoy looking at them. The one with bug in it is my favorite of yournlast set. Very nice colornand texture of the flowers.Its fun to shoot such pictures... i like that...
Thanks for the kind comments, Jack and Ed. I guess I could move the farmhouse back easily enough in PS...but I have ethics! (Some, anyway.)If they would have just built that farmhouse in the field behind it the scene would have been much better.
David, these are beautiful. I'm guessing that shot of the Diplomat hotel is from your balcony... nice view you've got there. Love the colors in that twilight shot too. Looks like that new 35mm lens might be a keeper.A few shots from my recent test around my neighborhood with the S2 and 35mm Summarit-S f/2.5. Very Florida....

Thanks, Jack! I'm tickled pink! A much better choice than a 5D Mark II, IMO.Nice images, looks like you have the 'CWD singing for you!
