Almost painterly enough

VIEW OF THE GREAT BASIN, CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDEN, OCTOBER 21, 2018

Pentax K-3
Sigma 18-250 at 105mm
1/250 f9
ISO 800

Too bad the guy in the backwards ball cap wasn't a young woman in a yellow summer dress lounging on the lawn and leaning on the grass with one hand, but I had to make do with what was there. I was pleased with the image quality of the Sigma 18-250, a consumer lens, and think I will henceforth use it as my travel go-to when I can carry only one lens. The panoramic effect was achieved with simple cropping of top and bottom of the image.
