[QUOTE="hark, post: 529527, member: 13196"] Yes, I know you used a 35mm lens. That is still considered to be wide angle. Just because you are using a DX body doesn't turn that 35mm lens into a 50mm lens. A 35mm lens on a DX body gives you the [I]field of view[/I] of a 50mm lens; however, you still get the perspective distortion of a 35mm lens. And that means objects closer to the camera can appear elongated and fatter than they are to the naked eye. Although a 50mm lens is considered normal, even that can be affected by perspective distortion if you shoot too close to the subject. And the closer you are, the more distortion you will notice. That's one reason why I didn't like DX. I learned photography on a 35mm film camera. All-in-all, I still like the shot. Please only read my comments as constructive criticism.
