Thanks to the forum for this space.

Roberto, That's a beautifully seen shot. Bravo! I played with it a bit to bring up some detail outside the window but I'm not sure I like it as well as your more subdued version. The M8 with a Leica lens does things few if any other cameras can do.

Thank you very much Russ.
I used my M8 with Zeiss Biogon T* 2/35.
I am sorry I don't speak english very well. See http://web.mac.com/frieri/20110212T213315.html, in italian, for details.

Lovely, mysterious feel.

Indeed a lovely picture, very clean and well seen.

I like the original best, in the adapted version I find I'm distracted by all kind of visible (and even overpowering) textures that in my mind don't work together with the simple composition and light of the first version.

Roberto,
It's a splendid image, bravo. I can't really tell if I prefer the original or Russ' edited version.  Your website is also impressive, some very nice work there.

Nice image. I prefer the Russ retouching. I'm not a fan of (unnecessary) details but in this case the falcon eye of Russ did it right on the money. IMO.

Roberto, Thanks for the correction. Yes, Zeiss does it as well as Leica. I think I'm going to have to put a Zeiss 50mm on my D3.

Roberto, you should have left some of the dust... would have added to the ambiente.

Nice shot, though, and well seen.
