Have you considered Microglobe?

The light through the arch is a bit distracting, but otherwise it is a dramatic mono.

Cheers.

Interesting set but 5 and 8 are confounding. I like 2 but would prefer the structures to be sharp throughout, so 3 and 4 are my choices from the set.

Cheers.

And high quality JPEGs can be edited in computer software to produce high quality results.

...I'd want to wait a bit to iron out the bugs they don't yet know about. The likes of flapping mirrors and weak aperture motors for example.

Also a few more rounds of firmware stability enhancements wouldn't go a miss. And if you're prepared to wait a bit longer, the inevitable mkii model that adds all the bits they left out of the original model...
I agree...and perhaps it is appropriate here to thank all those who want things now. They pay a premium price, sometimes for an inferior product, then identify the necessary modifications and firmware upgrades, so that by the time all has been sorted, the rest of us can buy a good product at a good value price!

A pleasing set, Nigel, my favourite being number 3. It's also good to see effective use being made of one of the camera's built-in software features.

Cheers.

Nigel, I like the interesting compositions, but in the first one the mid tones just seem a bit dark to me - artistic effect or was the lighting like that?

Cheers.

Nicely done, Malcolm. A lovely photo of your son - one to be treasured.

Cheers.

Is the top of the image actually necessary? For me, the bright sky and bokeh there are both features that distract from the lovely shot of the boy. If it were mine, I would first do an 8 by 10 crop to just above the lad's woolly hat, before cloning out what remains of tree above it.

Cheers.

The clear favorite for me is number 2 although, if it were mine, I would crop the image just enough to remove the smaller tree on the right.

Cheers.
