    Lovely low angle and side lighting Ken, with the vegie swish very effective, however it looks like you may have just missed (from mine & yours same cal monitor) AF on the Ele?
    Can also see evidence of your sharpening halos around the Ele's legs primarily, not sure if more USM could retrieve some sharpness?

    Washing vegetables :) The saturation seems to be a bit more high? Any blurring done ? In boat, it can be tough. I still try to use tripod and once in a while handheld when necessary. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,

    You are quite correct, what a basic mistake, back to the drawing board for me:D

    Really like the water is coming off the trunk. Like the fact you see the vegetation as well.
