Nikon 50mm 1.8D is great ....when I used it on my friends D7000 it worked very well...quick to focus and sharp

but medico it does not autofocus on my D3100 and it takes too much time to focus manually...although we have focus confirmation green light inside viewfinder..

As soon as I get my hands on D300 or D7000 this year I am sure to use it more :D ;)

@kapil - could you please list the steps in lightroom for selective coloring? I have lightroom3. recently installed. Currently use it just of image contrast / saturation adjustment.

You can scroll down on right hand side panel and in HSL, go to saturation and take down all saturation to -100 except for the colour you want to retain, you can play with this to get more selective colours. Also if you want to remove traces from some unwanted areas use adjustment brush (key- K) and paint that area and take saturation down. here is screenshot attached.

and you are right, 50mm 1.8 or 35mm 1.8 are like must :)

@binarycodes the new 50mm 1.8 AFS G cost twice the AF-D version... I would rather suggest go for used 50mm AF-D version and later if u have the money get 35mm AFS version

wow it seems most people know what to shoot with a 50mm 1.8 and I am the only ignorant :(

I really feel 50mm is a very tight frame....I am not at all comfortable shooting like that...even to get a full body shot u have to move many steps behind, which is not idle in most situations...
I would prefer 35mm more :)

^^ how about close shots with F1.8 aperture? Nothing beats 50mm.

example:
