What's illegal about blowing soap bubbles? :-)

It does look illegal, Penny. You are a brave one! ~dtallakson

A fast lens (probably a prime) would've been great here, as it will make the subject(s) stand out by blurring the b/g. Excellent capture and colors (notice the reds), nonetheless. Good work, Penny.

Okay, I fixed the slightly large file and and added some contrast while I was doing that. Is it better or not?
Christakis, my hands are definitely not steady. I have been practicing though at trying to squeeze the shutter button instead of just pressing quickly.

Great capture Penny. I am surprised by the quality of your pictures, 1/100s at 135mm?! Your hands should be solid like a rock.

Penny,
I don't think it is oversharpened. Even on my HD screen I have to search for artifacts to find a few of them. I think my 24-105 f4 does not produce so sharp pictures. Either your lenses are excellent, or I was unlucky with my ones, may be you are "The Big Master Of Sharpness.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that I am still not sure what they were doing but were totally intent on doing it!
Konstantin, I am over by a smidge and will fix it when I get home tonight. Sorry. I sharpened this a tad, but I do find the lens to be pretty darn good.

Well done, Penny, colors and sharpness are amazing. Is this 18-200 really so sharp ?
Konstantin

PS. Penny, can you please check the size of the file ? I’m not sure what is allowed limit but I’m afraid it is very close to it.
