I'll see if I can find something like what you're talking about. I  
was more interested in a rather "full" flower photo in this case.

The fishy barrel distortion is fairly mild on the L1, given its  
13.5x18 mm sensor format, but quite visible for any photo with some  
straight lines in it. It's a little more pronounced on the K10D at  
16x24 mm format.

LOL ... I toned down the grain quite a bit. If you'd like more,  
that's easy to do.  ]'-)

Interesting! The barrel distortion doesn't show on that at all, good subject.

Well, the effect is what you were looking for.  I also like that you
are showing some new things to us.  In this case, for me, there just
seems to be too much flower.  Hope this makes sense.  Because of the
side flowers and the main having so many petals, the whole thing gets
kind of lost.  I'd like to see the effect on a simpler flower.

The composition is a bit centered for my tastes, but you certainly got 
the "soft and texture-ish" effect working! Nice light.

Seems a week for different thoughts. Went out walking this morning  
while it was still quite dim and had the Panasonic L1 fitted with a  
Pentax K17/4 Fish-Eye lens (on the way to Cotty ... thanks for  
letting me shoot with it a little bit!). I thought I'd experiment  
with getting something soft and and texture-ish so I racked up the  
ISO to 800 and underexposed by a bit. Results here ...
