[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 214986, member: 9240"] I've been staring at this some more because there's something about it that just doesn't "feel" right. Did you utilize the lens correction feature in Lightroom, because I'm seeing a touch of barrel distortion inherent to the 50mm f1.8. I pulled a copy into Photoshop and used the lens correction filter to pull 2 points of distortion out of frame, effectively pulling the outer edges toward the eye, and it looks better to me. It's an extremely subtle change, and one that's almost impossible to see in a side by side, but when done with the tool you can see it plainly when you toggle back and forth with ctrl-Z. The lens profile is something I apply by default in Lightroom and it works wonders. If you are using it, then for some reason it's not correcting it as much as it should - or more appropriately, as much as I think it should. LOL But for me it's the lines in the wall, they just fall off at the edges, which is something that probably would not have been noticeable on a less linearly textured background. Sorry for being a little picky on your shot, but I actually really like it, and really want to like it more than I do because there are just these minor things that keep me from loving it. [/QUOTE]
