I like the flare and the compositions of all the street shots, John, but I'm not fond of the strong orange colour. Is that a result of the white balance or are there sodium street lamps in the village?
For me they look great when converted to monochrome images with good contrast.
Cheers.

Hope you don't mind this example:

Jessops show a good range of Pentax bodies and lenses on their web site, and for many of them it says you can "Collect in Store". However, I don't know whether that means they have them on show in stores, as there isn't one in my home town.

In my view also, the colour version is more effective than the mono. I also agree with NIgel's comment regarding the colour balance - in fact, on my screen the image seems to have a magenta bias. It becomes a stunning image for me when the colour balance is adjusted so as to make the sky a deep blue, and darkened slightly and gradually towards the top.
Cheers.

A very good and interesting set, Nigel. I like the compositions of numbers 1 and 3. I also prefer the mono version of your daughter (but is the background blur in both images a natural D.o.F effect?).

The third image looks best on my screen. It is an interesting thread and, although we have the results of just the one experiment, it seems that images posted directly here might be better reduced to 800px on the longest side before uploading. Presumably the forum software will then leave them alone.
Cheers.

Thank you, Nigel - a 100x70cm print sounds really impressive. I must have a go at that sometime, Like you, when I downsize for the Web I always use the 'Bicubic Sharper' feature (but in PaintShop Pro), which seems to work very well and the images then appear to need little or no further sharpening.
Am I correct in thinking that this forum will display at no more than 800px wide?
Cheers.
