M8 24mm Elmarit

After posting this I notice the quality is horrible...the JPEG conversion seems to have removed detail,sharpness,color saturation and range...sorry.

Did you compress your image to a size < 244.1 kB before uploading?

 

Otherwise, the forum will silently compress your image to a block of cinders.

 

Please forgive if you already know that.

is there perhaps also a bit of cyan fringe? as if the elmarit were not 6-bit coded, or the lens recognition was off??

 

greetings from hamburg

You are correct Phillip, I did not compress to <244.

Rick, the lens is 6 bit coded and I did use an IR filter....just a bad compression.

Why don't you upload another version (< 244 kB) ? I like the original picture and would like very much to see an improved version.

let me try another:

It is indeed sharper. However, it is uncomfortably small for me (I am wearing multifocal glasses).

 

Nice pasture, though, and lovely friends.

Virgil -

 

That's much better, and quite lovely.

Virgil,

 

Your redo is quite nice. Superb colors, clarity and atmosphere. Have you tried to crop it a bit to bring your friends in closer ? May not work for you. Just a suggestion. At any rate, it is a lovely picture.

Thanks Paul, I did not try that. I originally liked the sense of scale I chose but I see your point and will give it a try later.

[allamande]

This is a lovely image. Reminds me of Corot. I like the sense of scale and prefer this version. I agree with what was said before though about the size. It has to be bigger to be fully appreciated.

Like a lovely painting !

 

Would look nice on any wall.

[vdb]

Thank you all, here's a larger version.

Virgil

 

Beautiful for sense of peace, colors, simplicity and - finally - size. I love it.

 

Last nitpick: it seems that parts of the sky are bleached out. There would'nt be any more details in the original image, by any chance?

[vdb]

Thanks Phillip...cannot recover that from the original...probably should crop that section.

[pauledell]

Virgil,

 

I like this a lot. While your point of having the scale in the origional post is certainly valid, I think this is much better. Great picture.
