Come on there has to be a point to taking and displaying a photograph. You made an active decision to take it and then to share it.
As I said I am unsure what I am supposed to take away from these shots.
I thought something was confusing my eyes - glad it's not just old age but softening!

Seriously Mike, when I have a camera in hand, I'll see some one or thing and fire away. I don't generally take stock of what and why. Now and then I'll see some thing that I consider needs work or as I term it "work the shot and try to visualise the result". By the way, these are six years old. I hold several thousand street and people images from all places I visit.Come on there has to be a point to taking and displaying a photograph.

Maybe I should have posted the un-softened versions.
As always, all comments are valid and taken with respect.

There is never a point when I shoot free. I'll photograph most people and just about anything. When I shoot commissions, it's a different matter. Sorry to say this but what is the point in taking these?

Well this opens up the usual debate about how a long lens like the 200 introduces perspective that makes the viewer more remote from the subject while a wide angle close up will draw the viewer in.
I'm not sure what I take away from these three shots when you look at something like link then look at his posts and web site. He's had little old ladies go for him and almost knock his camera from his hand. He has some great shots and some not so hot.
Also the brickwork looks odd here and there, have you applied some softening?
Mike
Yes, softening has been applied. Mainly playing with the images.Well this opens up the usual debate about how a long lens like the 200 introduces perspective that makes the viewer more remote from the subject while a wide angle close up will draw the viewer in.

Yves, I'm not sure what the average DSLR buyer would dish out. My FF cost 1500 pounds, twice the price of my K7 last May.
I agree about the high ISO although I did not compare digital to film.
I also use FF lenses on my APS-C bodies, my Minolta 7D only has FF glass.
I did realize last year that Pentax would probably not launch a FF DSLR hence went this route;
My Pentax kit, some here;
still gets used more than my Nikon, Minolta or Canon kit.

Once again George, you make some solid points.
I generally don't go by forum feelings as a rule.
I don't switch brands. I use a "fit for purpose rule" and buy as required.
We await the rumoured DSLR sometime this year and hope it impresses as much as the KX and K7.

Ouch George.
Not so much banging on rather than looking at the whys and wherefores.
I still don't see why a 645D would appeal to more people than a 135 format but that's only my opinion.
Commercial viability? Possibly.
