As I do like the edge work you did, I'm not sure I like how it goes into the picture.

Beautiful photo though. You have my future lens...I want. Great job!

They could well be!

But in fact they are Tasmanian (Australia).

Glad you like the pic. You know, being sure about everything I do in post is a luxury I don't always experience!! Like you I am not convinced about the dry brush effect. However, I wanted the pic not to have too slick a finish, but something more "country craft". There is also a canvas texture effect which is not very noticeable here. Altogether, I feel this is quite appealing.

Yes, the 24-70 is a very nice lens, it especially produces beautiful color. It has always been a bit controversial, though, during it's long life for not always being ultra sharp, that is AF inaccuracy. My copy isn't too bad, I think. With the AF adjustments now available on some new bodies any suspected focus problems can be quickly investigated and possibly solved diy.
