Many thanks for the reply sifu, appreciate it!   
Yeah, typo, should be 18-105mm haha ... but this one is DX lens right?
A quick search through the Nikon webpage and I found these, which are sort of within budget @___@:

1. AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED (the one you mentioned right? )
2. AF 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF
3. AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR (I think this is the kit lens)

I am not really sure what's the differences between all these, apart from the price lol..
I was wondering whether sifus can give a little bit of comments on these lenses?
Thanks thanks   

Rock Seems to be your subject. But too many rocks, dunno which 1 is the superstar.

Suggest to use 1 rock as subject and neighboring rock as dancer and the sea as backdrop.

Dancing.............

Handheld or tripod. If tripod, can make the water.. softer..

Shoot lower maybe.

Not gonna comment about focus.

The photo makes me curious about the Horizon....and sky....

Still with some post processing, it could still work.. but thats another story.

i use 6D only.

All roaming at the same time xD But you tarak the Zabimaru wielding Rilakkuma 

Unlikely for the corner to be 'blur' due to lens... why? you're on DX sensor... the little area used by DX won't affect that much like FX sensor + FX lens.

i have a non VC version... not really like the lens already.. haha

f/2.8 also can create bokeh's effect? You are amazing, man! Can please tell me the settings you used to snap this photo? Thanks.

Crossing leg technique.

hmmmm....maybe i expect too much, but when i zoom-in in lightroom is picture is more blur than what i see
gt pics of my friend who cosplaying the vocaloid?

i heard 14-24mm got very bad distortion leh...

thanks for the picture, on behave of my friends
