Thanks. You're right, they are tilted. I don't know why I keep doing that.
Got to pay more attention or get a screen with lines ;-)
Horse too dark? Not here.

It just looks like the proverbial "dark horse" to me. Actually, it looks
like a black or almost black animal with a very dark bron mane.

And that's exactly what it was. A dark horse. What's the problem?

None here. It was someone else that apparently thinks all horses are
light colored. My family owned four horses on their ranch: one the color
of the one in your picture but with a darker mane; a brown one with a
white blaze, a mare the color of a brand new penny (hence her name:
Penny--US pennies used to be pure copper)) and her foal, exactly
identical to her mother. Horses come in about as many colors as dogs
(but eat much more).

True. I did quite a lot of horseback riding myself when I was wearing a
younger man's clothes ;-)
Maybe I'll do it again sometime. Should be quite nice here in Portugal with
all the beaches, hills and rocks.

I had two Great Danes: not only the size of a small horse, but the eat as
much too ;-)

Horse l;ooked fine on my monitor.
I love the lone chapel but yes some are tilted a touch.
Was this with the kit lens?

Yes, the 17-85 IS.
This chapel really stands in the middle of a crop field. No idea what they
were thinking. You see a lot of abandoned churches and chapels here. Some
one-horse-villages will have three churches!
But nothing is broken down. just abandoned. I like that: gives me plenty of
subjects to photograph.

Those are very nice examples of the capability and versatility of the much
attacked EF-S 17-85 IS (i assume you used that lens?) ... tack sharp images
and good color rendition, 4 and 5 are my favorites. Well done.

Markus

Thanks!
For example at Fred Miranda you can read some very positive reviews of
professionals, so I guess it's not so bad.
I had the Nikon 18-135 and the 18-70, but I think this one is sharper and
more useful with the IS.
And now you get 50 euro back from Canon, so the price is excellent too.

I got the Aus equivalent of ~200 Euro back on my 17-85IS, and I still think
it was way overpriced compared to many other lenses. Thankfully the number
of competing camera's with built in IS has caused Canon to reduce the price
premium for IS on their latest kit lenses.
Let's face it, the 17-85IS is not L series quality. If it wasn't for
Photoshop lens correction it would be almost unusable at 17mm IMO.
