Well put Axel! I tend not to comment if I don't like a picture. However I do try and make a constructive comment to help improve a picture that I do like!

I wonder if what you propose is what ePz is trying to achieve with the option of uploading a photo, and disabling the voting on it to encourage constructive critical feedback.

Whether a new category is needed as you suggest, I don't know; maybe just greater encouragement to members to be honest and constructive.

On a more general note, I do sense that people are less able to take criticism and take it as rejection. That is not aimed at anyone in particular here - just a general observation.

They are amazing images! Thanks for the link Shaun

My K7 went through a flat image period. It took me ages to realise that I had somehow knocked the appearance control (right hand one of the 4-way selector) from 'natural' to 'muted'. I shoot RAW and the images looked somewhat washed out when viewd in ACDSee or Pentax Utility. Seemed to have to do a lot of adjustments. Lightroom seemed to overcompensate and oversaturate the image though!

Ah - I shall have to wait and see - I have just ordered one of these 7dayshop ones as a spare!

I am sure you will enjoy your new camera a lot! I have the older K7 which is still great to use. Nice photo (although not a great cat lover personally!)
