Sharp eyes, nice soft DoF, cheeky grin. Great portrait. K.

The weight of opinion seems to be swinging in favour of the colour version. I have, therefore, tried to bring up some details in the shutter, tone down the bright white sign and make the distant details in the arch a bit brighter.
What do you think of this?
I tried Topaz Details but I think I need a bit more time to get my head around it.

Thanks, guys.
Yes, Gareth it was a PPG shot - result pending. In fact, I've submitted all of these - so far 1, 8, 9 & 12 have been accepted. 11 has been rejected. The rest are pending.
Funny that, I thought 1 was the weakest of the set and 11 was great! Oh well, no second guessing the PPG. I have 17 images pending...Thanks, guys.

What a fun set! I think #7 is my favourite although #6 is a close second.
Well done. K.

Whenever I see that you have posted I know we are in for a visual treat. You didn't disappoint me this time. No 13 is my favourite, I love the shapes and tones. No 6 is fun, No 8 poignant and moving.
Thank you! K.
Thank you! K.

I could probably do something if/when I scan the image to a higher resolution myself. This is from the lo-res commercial scan and I don't think there is enough information to play with.True, its better with detail and grain rather than bland and empty but could it be tweaked slightly in Lightroom etc. just to scale it down a little :

Opening one is a belter. I've noticed with your sets that you post, the opening image is always the best one
One thing with the opening shot thought is that sky, its so noisy
Grainy, please! This may be because Rollei Retro film is relatively insensitive to blue light and that combined with the polariser may have bought out the grain. On the other hand, I may be talking rubbish...Opening one is a belter. I've noticed with your sets that you post, the opening image is always the best one

Personally, I'd rather have a grainy sky with some interest than a completely bland one which, sadly, characterises most of my Venice images.

Actually, if I really wanted excellent IQ and consistent focus as in the example image I would use my Horseman and utilise camera movements/Scheimpflug to achieve that in one shot. Cisco wrote:
It wasn't an entirely serious suggestion. I was alluding to the much better IQ at higher ISOs than I get from my K20D. I almost never use the K20D over 400, and prefer to keep it to 200 if at all possible.nass wrote:

I sometimes see that lens for sale but I rarely take portraits and don't think I'd get the use out of it.
Looks like it might have uses for you video types though.
