My copy is great. The 24-105L is not a "sexy" lens, but yet I find that some of my best work comes from it, mostly because it is competent and because of it's great focal length it tends to "around" when I am shooting. Here's a few faves from it:Blue Dawn by Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott, on FlickrAlmost Gone (Explored August 17th, 2012) by Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott, on FlickrSunset at Niagara by Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott, on FlickrMorning Has Broken by Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott, on FlickrLiquid Gold by Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott, on FlickrA Mother's Love by Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott, on Flickr

Long time reader, first time poster I took this picture yesterday... I also played with LR for the first time and finally start shooting RAW. I am just not sure if I like the result. 50% of the time I look at it, I like it (because it makes the chopper look tough , the other 50% I am like "waaaaaaay overdone". Guess I have to find the balance somewhere Lots to learn

I would also be inclined to increase the exposure (which would have the side effect of less saturation), so that the snow looks whiter than it does at the moment. Some areas need to be slightly blue because they are in shadow and it helps the viewer to "feel" the cold, but it is underexposed at the moment.Nice picture for me though I'd prefer a little bit less saturation and a little bit more warmth but it's just me.
