Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Repton revisited

I shot an almost identical photo from this spot just south of Coffs a few years ago, with my at-the-time Canon 60D. This time I'm using Fuji gear.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

I've no idea how you found that Gerry, as I couldn't remember the title of the post. Well done. As for dynamic range, I'd say the Fuji eats the Canon for breakfast, not that the Canon was bad.

And yes, any camera these days is a good camera, with the exception of Leica, as I'd have to donate a kidney to afford one and then I'd be a kidney short...

Very interesting to see the differences, definitely improved composition and the D-range is better in this image

Comparing the two....this image seems more sophisticated, more satisfying to look at. Very interesting.

Funny you mention that Gerry. I actually feel like I'm in a photographic hole at the moment. I'm seriously thinking of selling my main Fuji gear and just concentrating on using the X100s for a year and seeing where it leads me. Apart from last Tuesday night, I haven't taken that many photos for a long time, including a recent trip to Europe (England, Spain and Italy) from which I returned last week. I didn't even go through one x100s battery in the entire 17 day excursion. :|
