Actually I especially like the last with the couple in the foreground for story telling. Obviously the 15 (even with cropped FoV) is going to give you distinctive images anytime you have foreground objects much closer. It can work really well or it can get overdone maybe. I'm just going through this learning with my 18 too. I guess I've come around to either making a dramatic perspective, if I have worthy foreground object to showcase or going the other way and trying to keep most of the shot at similar distances, that is the lens widenesss may not be obvious at all. Critiquing is hard, I always try to say what I think (and its just one opinion) and like people to be as candid with my efforts. As always these are just alternative points of view an you have to filter and evaluate their worth for yourself! 2009/9/13 Robert D.
