Well, OK, I'm no authority on these matters ....

I'm not so sure .. in my experience of zombies, time and time again, its the barbed wire that is the last thing that stops them.

Such a waste ... he looks like he had been a very nice young man
Very well shot! You've done a great job of placing your zombie into his environment. No 5 for me - it has that classic 'I'm going to get you if it wasn't for this damn barbed wire in the way' look about it.
No 4 too, but could you try pulling the highlights on his hands down a bit - they distract from the face I feel. Very cool set!

I love these colours! The 2nd is still much better IMO. The tones are quite muted, but you can now see much more variation and subtlety - look at those reds coming through I'm sure it could be improved further and strengthened with some fine contrast work.

I'd love to see the 2nd shot in colour - its true that B & W generally doesn't do much for me, and in this case I imagine the sunrays and dappled light on undergrowth would be beautiful.
Also, you've pitched it quite low-key, so there's a predominance of shadows, and whilst we can see some gradations of tone in these areas, I feel in colour it might reveal more detail and variation of tones that would add something more special.

The second is the one for me, due to the extra foreground interest and the way the light catches that bit sticking up just left of centre.
Was something wrong with the colours that made you convert to B & W - as it is its all a bit 'Blair Witch' for me!

Compositionally and technically excellent! Love the tones and white balance control also.

Nice Set .... So who needs Full Frame then .....
For any output where you need extra resolution or dynamic range, or you need to print bigger than the total image data from an APS-C sensor would allow at your required resolution. Plenty of people then I guess. But no, you don't need FF to be able to take excellent images for web display.Nice Set .... So who needs Full Frame then .....

When you need more distance or power from the built-in flash.

This does look good - I took from the link though that it is designed to work at 100mm and above - presumably by narrowing the beam and projecting it at a narrower field of view it concentrates the power, giving you more distance and / or power. Of course, it only mentions the other camera brands, , but I can't see why it wouldn't go onto a Pentax DSLR?

Are you sure that the actual file extension has changed, or is it just the icons?
