Support. This is the most pleasing view of St James's Park, and it's about as high resolution as anyone could want. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 12:15, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

support Although I'd like to know where you got an 80mm lens from.©Geni 16:33, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your support. I've fixed it to say a 50-150mm lens at 80mm. To me, it isn't really important whether the lens was a zoom or prime as far as the picture is concerned. A zoom becomes whatever lens you want it to be. I get frustrated when I see books and magazines say a pic was taken with a "24-70mm" lens without saying what focal length was when they actually took the picture.

Support – Meets FP criteria, and I like the ducks. Sasata (talk) 16:50, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The ducks were better arranged in this image, but overall the lighting is better in this version. --ELEKHH^T 00:56, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I could photoshop Diliff's ducks into mine. He he. It would have been great to get a pelican in the shot - there was one in the west side of the lake. -- Colin°^Talk 08:16, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
