They're old, one has been posted before, and the other two I've processed tonight, but I thought they go together well.

JPG compression is really taking away from them. The second one is pretty leetskis.

Was the one posted before the wheel?

Yeah, iirc.

These are really quite nice. The b/w conversion is very good, especially in the second photo, given the contrast of the white pillars with the dark background. The perspective in the ferris wheel shot is quite breathtaking, although I think it could benefit from heightened contrast.

I've taken the liberty of performing a slight lens correction on the second shot because the columns seem to recede into the skyline due to the wide angle of your shot. As you can see, there's still a bit of tilt in the building on the far left, but I didn't catch that before I uploaded it, so we'll just have to deal with it. Short of using a tilt-shift lens (which runs quite a pretty penny), there's nothing you can really do about this sort of distortion when using a wide perspective and looking up, so it's good to have PS handy.

Hah! Thanks.
And I'll get the T/SL trio from Canon as soon as I win the lottery.

Don't forget to cut me in on that... I could use a T/S lens as well... [thumbup]

I'm sure you could do a lot better job of fixing the perspective on that image with the original, but it does give you a bit of an idea of how you could correct WA distortion.

To be honest, lens distortion never really bothered me.
Plus, it's something I learned to live with, aqs for a long time, my only choice in the wide angle department was the EF-S kit lens, and we both know just how horrible that lens is.

I kind of know what you mean. I never bought the kit, so I have very limited experience with that lens, although I do know that with it can produce high quality images; you just need one helluva lot of light to work with.

Yeah, at f/11 or f/16 it'sd OK, but you need a tripod for that aperture.
