One of my first keepers with my new EOS 5D.
Just my luck the camera was full of dust straight out of the box and also has 3 dead pixels shocking to think really considering it cost nearly 2 grand..thank god for CS2 spot healing brush!
Canon EOS 5D, EF180 f3.5L macro, AV - 2/3 ~ F11 @ 1/80, ISO 100
I very much love the bright and summery feel about this image.

Hi Larry
Nicely composed image and I love the inclusion of the habitat - one minor nit I would tone down the hot spots on the a few of the stalks.

Hi Larry
A great start with the new camera, an excellent shot, I like this type of image which shows the habitat well and the backlighting on the grass stems works very well. Possibly would be even nicer with a bit softer lighting, it is just a tad bright as is.
I like it, I would agree it has a great summery feel to it.
cheers

p.s. I have read a few stories on the internet about dust and dead pixels with the 5D. I haven't noticed any such problems with mine but Canon should pull their socks up on their quality control, there is no excuse for these types of problem.

Hi Larry sorry to here about your camera, love the shot very warm and summery.
As Justin said lovely summery feel to this image, but there are some light areas that do need toning down, having said that the butterfly is spot on.
As for your 5D having dust on the sensor, it is one of those things I guess.But if it has dead pixels then I would take it back to where I got it from and exchange it for another one, that is totally unexceptable in my mind!
Regards

I know they are there but I'm not entirely sure how to tone down the hotspots...most of photoshop remains a mystery to me!!
3 dead pixels amongst 12.8 million is hardly noticalbe unless you zoom right in..the camera is well used now so I guess i'll stick with it...very impressed with it so far.
I was in a car crash a few years ago the car was written off and I damaged both my wrists, thanks to working on a computer everyday they never really healed properly, when i handhold my 1d2 for more than 5 minutes i really struggle especially with a 500mm or 300mm f2.8 lens attached , but with the 5d I can happily hold it all day with the 300 f2.8, very impressed with the AF and the little joystick to contol the AF points is brilliant...a cracking little camera to my mind.
