Strange, you shouldn't need a mirror lock-up to get the focus right. Dunno why it was not as sharp as you wanted then. Groom suits

Here's the first one. I'll have to look over the rest and edit later, after church. I overexposed by a stop, then brought it back down in LR3 so there wouldn't be as much noise in the darker areas. I think it turned out all right. I'm not happy with the focus... I used live view on 10x and manually focused. I think it could've been better in that respect.
I love the colors and composition...the horizon line looks good below the lower 3rd so that the top of the trees are around the 1/3rd line. The reflection of the colors makes the image strong. I don't mind a softer focus with this image...it adds to the dreamyness of it. Nice shot! The name's Troy.

In a sunset scene such as this there is nothing that needs to be really sharp because all that is being shown is the sky, water, trees/treeline. Now if there was a foreground subject that would need to be sharp.

So far so good but I know in time I will get accustomed to this lens. Here are example pics of ef 300mm f4L IS USM. Holey moley that's sharp lol, what's it like compared to the 70-200L? Great shot btw, love the close up of the feet.

I would've gone two thirds ground and one third sky or half and half, because the water is the most beautiful part of the picture and there are no clouds in the sky so not much interest. Also the reflection of some of the trees has been cut off at the bottom when it could've been shown. Just my two cents. I love to hear others' take on images like this. Composition is king (as has been stated on these boards a few times now)...the other amazing thing about compistion is the intention and interpretation of the composition. You make some great suggestions Inch! I think the blue sky does offer some interest to the photo...it is a "negative space" that could be either above or below. Good stuff! The name's Troy.

Thanks guys, for the comments. Interestingly enough, I drive by this place every morning on my way to work, but don't have time to stop. I get off too late the next morning to catch what I want. But, every other day, and I mean every other day, that I go by here, there are clouds in the sky. I told my daughter, as we were getting these images, that I wish there had been some clouds. Maybe next weekend.

Yes I agree negative space is cool. I try to use it when the opportunity arises.  IMG_5207_0708 by inchpractice, on Flickr IMG_4726_1073 by inchpractice, on FlickrI suppose what I'm saying about MedicinSC's sunset shot is that once the sky has turned from gold to blue everything above that is solid blue which is cool and all fine and dandy but the reason he took the shot in the first place is because the beautiful sunset was reflected in the water. (I'm putting words in his mouth here, but still.) Which is why every time I'm confronted with a sunset scene like that I shoot it both ways - one with 2/3 sky and one with 2/3 water. You don't always know until you get home which one will look best. I'd be willing to bet that it would look better with more water, but it's all subjective of course. Groom suits
