It "looks" lighter than my D700....

A lovely scene and if i may I'll suggest a slight re-composition.
Bright areas catch our eye, so the bright area top left is a little distracting. It pulls us away from the centre of interest, the pool of light bathing the lawn in a warm glow.
If you cut out the areas to the left of the tree and possibly include more of the reflection, which is wonderful by the way, then I think the image will be much stronger.
I don't have more reflection to include, but perhaps something along these lines as a starting point:

I think Gary has done a great job in reconciling the darker shadowed areas with the intense light from the sky behind the church spire.
Other than going to a HDR image, cropping of some shape or form is one option.
Gary - do you run 'post' programmes that contain a grad filter per chance?
I don't but having a full set of ND grads etc and leaving them at home did not help.I think Gary has done a great job in reconciling the darker shadowed areas with the intense light from the sky behind the church spire.

I was suggesting you desaturate the reds a bit as they glare. RAW or JPEG? If JEPG then almost certainly the camera's PP will have adjusted the saturation.

Had a little play. Everything JPEG Mike, my life is either too short or I'm too busy for RAW.I was suggesting you desaturate the reds a bit as they glare. RAW or JPEG? If JEPG then almost certainly the camera's PP will have adjusted the saturation.

Having been around long enough to see the transitions in broadcasting from 35mm to 16mm film then through countless video formats the common denominators have been people decrying every change as a backward step and the change being brought about by cost saving and convenience. There ia absolutely no doubt that the technical quality is now better than ever and at a fraction of the cost both in terms of media and equipment.
Same thing has happened in stills, newspaper photographers wouldn't give up their Speed Graphics for a Spotmatic in the 60s, and FF would IMO be a backwards step, nothing would be gained from it at all. Can you tell, in a magazine for example, if a picture was taken on a FF or APSc camera? Of course you can't.
Not looking to get into an issue but if smaller better is the way as 35mm to 16mm, a DMF does not light my candle, regardless of make. At the moment, my FF DSLR rocks, along with it's lenses. One example is that I can shoot a true 14mm lens while others wait for the Sigma 8-16mm.Having been around long enough to see the transitions in broadcasting from 35mm to 16mm film then through countless video formats the common denominators have been people decrying every change as a backward step and the change being brought about by cost saving and convenience.

I agree with the magazine comparison 100% because you can't even tell what make camera took the image but you can get good odds on what camera's didn't take the image.

Now if I sell a painting or my youngest????
Regardless of my own views, it is a nice piece of kit. I'm sure those who invest will be well pleased with it.
I only wait to see what the Gulf prices will be. I am waiting to get a mail from my friendly dealer in Bahrain to see if they will be getting them before the UK.
