Preconceptions about people are often wrong. The image in question might be of a really honourable man who is handing back a wad of cash he's just seen someone drop. He's registering extreme disappointment that it's not his and he's too honest to run off with it, but it's the burden he bears.

I was adding numbers to he images while you were censoring the post. I'll remove it lest any children are harmed.
It was removed because many would consider it offensive, but I'm sure you know that really. There's no need to be flippant about it. If you must post it, please do so marked as an adult photo in the Gallery.

That was quite a lively competition and well thought out in many different ways.

Nicely and perceptively judged Aiki!

Davem, I have replied to your report. Oggy is correct.

The easiest way for you is to upload a couple of shots to the gallery. Resize them to no more than 1500 pixels wide on the longest side and they should upload quickly.

Make sure you use Save As to save your reduced size file and the EXIF data should be intact.

If you'd be kind enought to post the two shots, along with the EXIF data, then we might be able to suggest some possibilities.

The most common reason is that the exposure compensation is left in or nudged to an inappropriate setting. It could also be related to how camera meter in unusual circummstances - usually a problem if spot metering is selected and not fully understood.

The best lab was the home darkroom. Now it's the home inkjet printer. But it still takes user skill to make it work.

You're right that the weakest link in the chain will define the final quality.

Sour grapes over what? Not really. It's just that the jump from APS-C to FF is not enough, but from APS-C to 645D is.

In a similar way, the jump from 35mm film to 645 was not enough for me, but from 35mm film to 67 would have been.

Yes, the 67 viewfinder has to be experienced to be believed. Wonderful.
