Thanks.

The octagonal shape to the bokeh was natural - it is created by the blades of the aperture of the lens itself. There is a bit of texture in the bokeh as well that I seem to remember is caused by light reflections inside the barrel of the lens.

I think if I passed out drunk in that field the wolves or coyotes would get me before sun-up.

I used ShiftN correction software on this image, which one looks better? I feel like I like the original on the left better, because it gives a better sense of the building's massiveness.

^lol... I manually did it to my Vegas image image also.... the crooked building to the left is actually supposed to be crooked. I personally like the corrected image better.

I'm not sure I like that one... the things on the foreground are distracting. I wish it was just the tiles. I like what the shallow DOF does to the tile pattern.
But that's just me... I'm a sucker for straight angles.

I like the 70-200 2.8 IS. I think between that and the 17-55 2.8 IS I have a great zoom combo. I need to sell some of my stuff and get the 35mm 1.4L next.
