    Very nice. #4 inparticular looks great. May just be my screen, but the white balance looks a bit off on #3 (a bit yellow), but great pic none the less. I have the Nikon version of the 50mm 1.8 and I love it. Great for this style of photographs.

    Thanks for the feedback. I had a lot of trouble with the 3rd's WB. And it doesn't help that every screen I have viewed it from it looks diiferentne_nau.gif

    The reds in #3 are orange....rolleyes1.gif otherwise it might rival my fave which is #4.

    I have found the 50mmF1.8 to be a finicky lens. It seems to be fairly prdictable at F4 and smaller. When it is bad it is aggravating....but when it's good....it is REALLY good!!

    Hi RM! wave.gif Nice to see you back and posting, it's been a really long time. Your son's gotten big since you last posted him. I like them all but #4 is fantastic clap.gif. Great to have you back and hopefully you'll stick around.
