The lens is an 8 - 32mm (equivalent 32 - 152 in 35mm) and I definitely see some curvature distortion at this end of the range. The horizon behind has a curve to it that did not exist in real life. The curve the girl threw me on the other hand was very real.

Very nice - both the girl and the scenery behind her. Her smile appears spontaneous and sincere, and her hair looks as if she had just turned her head towards us - a moment well captured. The three layers of the background - the reeds, the fluffy clouds, and the clearer sky at the top - make an interesting effect.
There seems to be some perspective distortion on what can be seen of her hands - is 8.2mm a wide-angle focal length on your camera?
Nice story, too :-)

You make me laugh John! This is great and funny all at the same time... Nice clouds and man what a wonderful boardwalk. I've never seen a boardwalk quite that stunning... :)
Thanks for your kind comments as usual!

I think she did. I saw her coming and sat on a railing with the camera poised and ready. I was so surprised by her question, I was almost dumbfounded. Her boyfriend never suspected a thing, but your right. She saw right through me. I didn't think it would even turn out until I saw it... It was exactly what I was going for. The clouds were a fantastic and she was perfect with them.

Nice tones here John. I like the detail in the sky here. It would appear that she had your number man!
