I gave in and picked up a 17-40mm about 2 weeks ago and finally had a chance to take it for a spin in First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach, VA. I thought I'd like the ultra wide view it gives me, but I kept finding myself zooming to 40mm and getting closer to my subjects - lol.

Nice shot! The blown part in the upper left is a little distracting. I'd crop a bit out, but good regaurdless! I've been wanting to get a 17-40L for about a year now. This photo makes me excited for Fall.... I sound like I have ADD.

Agree, I'd crop most of the top off. Nice colors and reflections in the bottom.

I like it a little blown at the top. On my monitor it doesn't look that blown anyway....since I bought these new monitors, and calibrated them, I've had some people tell me my photos are too dark or bright......hmmmm.

Thanks for the comments though :)
