Thanks all for the comments - I agree no 6 stands out and grabs the eye; however the 'purist' in me would follow danofmk and tend to go for the one that appears to be more realistic!

Be interested to know how you get on with your new system, and apart from the weight advantage, how image quality and versatility etc compare! All the best Stan.

Some lovely images; I love all the old wreck/ ruin/ rust and texture ones most though, along with no 9 monochrome of the tracks.

I thought I'd just try some HDR effects in Photomatix Pro. I normally try for a 'realistic' look (which of course is subjective with HDR). So thought I'd try some slightly real looking ones and a couple of others as well - I avoided all the 'grunge' look presets and a lot of others!
The original images were three shots exposed at 1.3 stops apart. The first shot here is the middle exposure without any tweaking (ie direct RAW to jpeg conversion);
The HDR shots, again, are straight out of Photomatix, saved as TIFF and then converted to jpeg for upload without further adjustments
2. Realistic 2
3. Detailed
4. Painterly 5
5. Interior 4
6. Creative
7. Monochrome 2
C&C welcome!

Thanks all, appreciate the very kind words.
Andy, the Irix has a hyperfocus scale on it so at f16 its in focus from 0.7m to infinity. No need to focus, just compose and shoot

What a great set Gareth - as above thanks for sharing. Not sure how they look large, but from these looks as though you have a great depth of sharpness from foreground to the distance.
