The first shot's quite harshly lit. The shadow to the right of her nose is distracting. The busy background is also quite distracting. And she doesn't quite seem to be making eye contact with the...

Hmm. Could this, for some people, replace a 24mm f1.4 and 35mm f1.4? Reasonable bokeh for full body portraits? Reasonable shutter speeds in dark spaces such as some churches? But it's a pity that...

I'd emulate those two nice backlit photos thus: Firstly, the photographer is probably using a lens with a wide aperture to create that nice blurry background. So set your camera onto a tripod, set...

Nice shots, in particular to demo its bokeh. I'm shooting my second wedding in four weeks and I want the lens to replace my humble Canon 50mm f1.8 for full body shots for its sharpness, smoother...

"It is as clear cut as it gets. I have used Canon auto-iso more than most people, I even wrote an article on this subject. Canon auto-iso received no improvement since 2009. it lack EC, lack fine...

Thanks, that's helped me too. My 60D had the problem, and all I had to do was lift the spring-loaded rail and bend it up a bit, and all is okay. The rail seems to be a little less springy than it...

Nice shot, I like it.

I know the feeling. Working back from my 95th placing, this is the first shot that has really caught my eye. And many of the shots I've seen have absolutely no relevance to rule of thirds....

And many of the shots I've seen have no relevance to rule of thirds. Sometimes I wonder what's behind those rating bars.

The large shot has nice detail.

Excellent. Beautiful colour and detail, and a nice creamy background.

Very nice shot.

I know the feeling. Working backwards from my 95th place, this is the first shot that really caught my eye. Nicely done.

Placed 95^th in the challenge.

I have the Mk III and 24-105. Awesome. The barrel distortion is a non-issue: any major processing package will get rid of it (including Canon's DPP that comes with their cameras).I chose the 24-105...

Nice shots. I like the first shot best. It certainly has the best light. I recently got my first 5d Mk III and later chose the 24-105 as the main lens over a couple of 24-70's for its attractive...

Thanks for that incisive and honest appraisal, Tim. I was considering the Tamron, but I've just ordered the 24-105 for its bokeh and extra reach. I think my mk III should be happy!

Yes, the 70-200 f4 IS. Doesn't give quite as much background blur as the 2.8, but still love it. Also, I had on the 1.4 extender for the panned shots (didn't need it, may have helped sharpness if I...

Here's a few of mine. Any more out there, feel free to add.
