I know what you mean. Should be getting a great new lens soon. Somewhere in thw 10-24mm range and I’m definitely not wasting money on cheap glass.

Once again would have been a better picture if there was some kind of wildlife or object being focused in on,

I would love to see two versions of your Friday desktops: one for the 30′ ACD and one for the iPhone[/quote]

From next week, sure thing.

I like it more that some of your others because of the blur (I dislike complicated and distracting backgrounds).

Not bad at all. Definitely one of the better shots I’ve seen from you. If I could see a tad bit more of the grass I’d love it but nice shot regardless.

Awesome photo. Although I think you could use photoshop to increase the contrast a bit and make it more greenish, wouldn’t look bad :P

[quote comment="32371"]Love this photo, Glenn. Just curious as to why there is some sort of gray border around the photo? I’d love to use it as my wallpaper without the border :)[/quote]

New version is online now and ready for download – sorry for the inconvenience Summer.
