I think the most likely response from most others will be that they look fine to them. I think they might shine a bit more it there was greater bite to the textures, such are the stonework and pews.

How much is too much? I actually think it's all in the kinestetics ....(believe it or not!) .... The learnt 'feel' of our processing sliders and mental attitude to it.

I often think this is a very similar phenomenon to that experienced by some drivers (you know, we've all been behind one, or maybe have been one) who when going up a hill get progressively slower and slower ..... Simply because they just cannot make themselves to press the accelerator down far enough, despite the fact that there is a huge amount of movement still available beneath their foot.

Full of atmosphere ! Well done, a great winner.

I've always found my DA18-55 really useful ... The danger is we just forget to use it, when for many situations it is actually ideal.

The lens, camera and photographer have all performed well here ... But David, I think you could do your images a few favours and sharpen them more, it's not enough for the resolution and the reduction to web size.

You're in good company on this I must say. .... Being a bit provocative, and not so much for K3II users, but I find that the majority of K1 images we see here are inadequately sharpened , probably because of the very heavy resolution and scaling reductions needed for display

And I can hear a lot of noise!

Those colours are very appealing, there's no doubt about that.

A really effective photo, it has a ghostly aura. Good job!

. Thanks Mike and Derek .... I'm pleased you saw them.

Thanks also HarrisF1, Kevriano, Don, David, John and Philip! All your thoughts and responses are much appreciated.

Thanks Peter and Karlo Peter, yes, it is easy to imagine Churchill in the gardens as you go around, no doubt the tranquillity and beauty fuelled much productive thought.

Karlo, I hadn't noticed that Armadillo, I think they might be native to the Croydon wetlands ! And yes, the little F35-70 always comes through, although sadly it sees less light of day now since I got the D FA28-105 ......

That's good, glad its sorted!

Time to use a tripod ... a very valuable thing Peter! We should all follow this advice more, especially for static scenes where it will help to get the most out of our equipment. Great colour in the sky here (considering no filter? ...)

The blue saturation has bled onto the buildings in No1 it seems (I mean the grey/ silver parts).... I'd try masking off the buildings before applying any added saturation, or even reducing the blue channel on the buildings only ... I think this will look better.
