It doesn't bother me at all. I think the subject stands out enough from the background and horizon that it doesn't matter. I didn't even notice until you mentioned it.

Here's one of my first shots through the 135L:

wow, quite the palate of colours!!!

how are you liking it so far? are you shooting full frame or crop body?

I know you're really going to enjoy that lens. I like shooting small objects with it to play with the DOF. I've also shot a few portraits with it, and it's a great focal length on a full frame.

Thanks! The colors and saturation are untouched in post-processing. I'm enjoying it so far. I'm using it on a crop sensor so it's roughly 216mm. I'm finding the focal length to be a bit more usable than my 200mm f/2.8L was.

great exposure and stuff, but i'm not sure the pose is very convincing natural.... that pose might work better in a bedroom set.

no, i didn't. she was almost sandwiched between the sun and the light, so there were a couple weird shadows. it was a shoot for her portfolio...she wants to get into fitness modeling and there's not much of a market for that around here, so i told her to try for the glamour or fashion world. there's more of that. anyway...she brought a self-described fashion stylist with her, and she did most of the posing.
