Another vote for number 1. (I also like number 5 except that the light on the floor looks a bit too bright to me.)

Thank you, Steve.

Thanks to all above for your comments.

I admit that I hadn't noticed banding, Steve, but I can now see it if I look very hard. This one looks fine to me when printed at A4 size - does it look any better than the first on your screen? :

Number 1 for me - it sort of hits a sweet-spot between 2 and 3.

This was captured beside a reservoir, with the camera tilted up slightly to make a background of the featureless sky. The image was converted to mono using Silver Efex, edited in PaintShop Pro, and given a sepia tone plus a sort of gentle vignette effect.

The camera used was a hand-held Pentax K-70 with the HD 55-300 PLM zoom attached: f=210 mm; ISO 200; AV Mode; f/8; 1/250s.

I would be most grateful for any comments ( + or - ) about the image:




Thank you.
Philip

Welcome back, Nigel!.....and with a great selection of your images. I like them all, particularly the woodland with sunburst.

All the best.

Having used nearly all the APS-C DSLRs since the K-r, my vote goes to the K-5 series for the best ergonomics and handling. So, although I mainly now use a K-70 and KP, I have kept the K-5IIs - still a wonderful camera to use, just a bit slow with its processing, and I wish it had a tilt screen!
