Took these today around Yerba Buena Gardens.

Wow is this lens SOFT wide-open. I took 600 photos with it today and ended up with about 30 that are 'usable.' Most of them were so soft as to be painful to look at. And it was all AF today, so it's not like I was missing my focus.

Then there are other times this lens is really sharp. When it's not wide and when it's stopped down considerably, it has decent sharpness.

This was at f14, and is sharp. I do give this camera a LOT of credit for its color capture. The image quality is amazing.

Probably my favorite from today, I liked how the glass imperfections made the reflection look pinched.

I really like number 4. I think it would be even better if you.cropped out the building on the right. However, this is just my oppinion. Very Happy

Crop out? Think bigger! The image has to be a set dimension, so the cropping would result in an unacceptable alteration to the lower portion (this was taken for work for a specific purpose). So, here's what I did in lieu of cropping:

Good work. I did not know it was a work piece so had set dimensions. It was just a personal preference comment.
You've done some good cloning there to take the building out, the only real giveaway is the cloud repertition. Very Happy

That's part of doing marketing photography -- getting rid of things that detract from the image. An old college friend worked for a cruise line after college and she used to tell me about all the editing they did on those images 00 removing exhaust plumes, taking out oil slicks behind the ships, etc. That's something I'd have an issue with since it meaningfully changes the images' meaning. Hopefully, in the 3.46 seconds anyone looks at this image before turning the page, no one will notice the cloning.
