    Pillars 1 is my favorite, excellent angle! Altogether, awesome set. I don't see a problem with the wide angle for you.

    Wow, reflections is the style I love in architecture pictures, shooting a building is nice, but boring if the picture does not have any human interaction in there. Your picture in reflections is perfect wilk!

    John, that's why I bought the Tokina instead of the Nikon -- it's half the price!
