I really like Tom's image (Camden, Maine). It's so appealing -- makes me wish I were there. Thanks for posting it.
Thanks. This is part of my re-entry to photography after being away for 10 years. I'm trying to learn digital. I shot this photo last week (despite the 2008 copyright on the photo -- I'll have to fix that). This is pretty much how it came out of the camera. I did a couple of small tweaks with the NIK filters, and that was that. It was my first time to shoot that late after sunset (30 to 45 minutes). The D700 is amazing. That lens is pretty sweet, too.
Nice one Tom, and not a gull to be seen! Blow that one up large and put it on the wall!

Thx guys! I used the 'landscape' mode picture control here. A little levels and curves too, and stuff. I love the 100/2. Especially the shallow DOF of the wide aperture. I also love the quality feel of it - the excellent build. Using it in itself is pleasing. I don't know enough about photography to give a proper review of it, or compare it to other lenses. I recommend Lloyd for that, i subscribe there. I've also ordered the Leica 90/2 APO ASPH in Nikon mount, and is excited about that, can't wait! Though i feel a bit guilty over spending so much on my hobby..
this was near the beach in spain. he loved it there!
