All is just perfect just for No3 try cropping the sun out of the dead center

Thank you all for your help, I've buy 18-200,and so far i like the weight, since 18-300 is the heaviest Nikon super zoom,this look like affordable traveling size.

My mistake i read at firs that GND is somewhere part of EFFECTS/COLOR SKETCH' filters on camera.
IMO CPL works differently than GND,CPL works on reflections (Glass;water,rain) GND won't eliminate reflections

What filter exactly are you using,there is not GND !

Thank you,it is to be taken in considerations, and yes I'm not going any stronger with my kidney transplant(going on to 14th year now :o)

Your point is a good one.That exactly is reason of this forum.Thank you MT

I can't imagine go through this process,thank you

nice take ,i can't get anything close to this ,must be a lemon they give me.

MT D800 is mostly used at same time by my wife,and those are ALL our lenses right now,any good solution now? Thanks

Thanks for your reply,what was your decision to get 300,since you had 200?

I own D7100 upgraded from D90,now is time to look for new lens.I have DX 40mm Macro Nikon and using also from my D800 FX Nikon lens 28-300 and 105/2.8 macro ,i need another lens DX preferably for travel which should be Mega zoom as they call them.

I purchased and trying now (?miracle lens?) Tamron 18 -270 which was recommended in DPreview,and you can't really believe all what they write.I wonder sometimes who writes those reviews. This lens is bad, brand new and it is not sharp almost in any positions and aperture. 6x4 look decent but enlargements over 50% is blurry and never sharp, i just couldn't find anything positive about it so far but low weight.
I have Google those two - 18-200 or 18 -300mm Nikon as they have same parameters (300 little bit longer)
Ken Rockwell call 18-200 awesome!
DPreview didn't help me decide,and recently there is a lot of Nikon18-200mm on sale and used, makes you wonder, is it because 18-300 is new and people upgrading from 18-200 them?
Has anybody have experience with any of those zooms? Please help.

I don't own or have any experience with D3,but i own D800,if anything counts, enlargements are REALLY stunning,it have more features than i can learn, it is one outstanding camera with proper lens(for given job)

I'll be Bold,sorry
What is wrong.(IMO)
This set up fits more to studio portrait where you take advantage of lights and shades.
I don't see any shades, must be high noon,for portrait bad.
For snapshot too stationary. If you want memory shot,find pleasant place.
Positioning in this picture i call it STS(Stop,Turn,Smile) boys are nice and it look like they can act normally as with small kids it is more difficult.
Make them act more natural, not this artificial smiles, i mean let one sit, other kneel,say something funny, and don't let them look straight into camera lens.
Horizon Level and oldest boy head is distracting,background too bright and sharp sun isn't really pleasant on their faces.
I photograph family or anything else almost like I'm paid for it.
My wife told me once "treat me rather like stranger". So I did, it is more polite and i love it,same with photo taking. Best family pictures are candid ones i believe, from some distance when kids are not aware of camera and they behave normal.
Again this is just my opinion.

Thank you, it didn't answer my questions.Remove wrong entry or not and why.
Yes,i understand, it is broad category, but spiders and lizard don't belong there.
