That doesn't suprise me at all. A lot of shifty behaviour is happening on this forum, I never know who is real. Well, that's not entirely true but I'm sure you know what I mean. :-)

https://www.dpreview.com/challenges/Entry.aspx?ID=1201152&View=Results&Rows=4 I remember voting on it. It was a picture of a bike in a shop window and people out on the street looked in awe at it. ...

This newbe keeps submitting images to challenges that are owned by a man that is dead. Is this allowed? He quickly removes them after the results are in... just like someone else here on the forum.

I don't know how much work you put into this image but the final outcome is outstanding. Well done.

To correct distortion... You would be better off correcting it with your camera manufacturers own software for your specific lens. What is your camera and lens?

Granted... fault was a bad choice of word on my part. Glad you like and can use the camera though. :-)

Composites are ok when done well and the image will benefit. But your original image is fine... a bit of lowering of the highlights in the sky area puts it well in balance of the photo. No need to ...

Do you think your camera is at fault more than the lens? Have you tested its focus accuracy under good light and on a tripod using a 10 second timer? I've tried these kind of tests with the 2 ...

How about this... I straightened the taxi sign to make her walk uphill into the unknown (the jagged shadow) or she could have turned back for a safe taxi home. I also squared the picture to cut ...

Is your EF35-80 a USM lens? I ask this because USM lenses (IME) are usually fast, certainly faster than comparing AF to MF. The ones I have are lightening quick, no way could I manually focus ...

On the T7 (2000D in my case): There are indeed only 9 focus points that can be configured to use either single or all 9 points. I suppose you could call the 9 point focus 'Zone AF', although Canon ...

Sorry I dont know what you wrote.

Flash is right and it would help (so is Kit Lens Avenger). I'm at similar level to you where we forget where the light comes from.

The best thing I ever done to get more vibrant colour was to stop using a protection filter on my lenses.  However, in the case of your picture... you won't get a vibrant colour from an object in ...

I'm a beginner and spent £500 on a wildlife package to see if i like it. You, from your quote above, are a liar and fake!

[CH] Congratulations on your win!

The biggest improvement I have found using the 90D is a higher shutter speed.

No, DOF preview physically moves the aperture blades inside the lens... it is optical, not electronic. It's a nice feature, but does little to help (IME) unless the scene is bright enough to see ...
