Larger ?

I mean the image setup and lighting is very nice, but at this size one cannot see any difference between these images and what you could have done with a cellphone.

You are right, but how about a softer touch....?

Ok, let's restate the case:

 These atmospheric images demonstrate the considerable talent of the photographer at sculpting a space, putting up lighting, and posing the model. However, the displayed web-sized photos offer few clues about the equipment used for capture, indeed one would conjecture that a photographer with such artistic abilities could market work created with any commercially available imaging device including a cellphone.

Something like "Please show us a larger image or 100% views." would have been a courteous request. Instead, we are treated to a snotty remark followed by a sarcastic one. It is sad that brief and polite sentences cannot be the norm.

Well, I never expect anyone to just post a full file for someone to "steal" off of an internet forum, but a 100 percent crop to demonstrate some nice image quality would be fun.

Otherwise, congrats, and enjoy your new camera system!

Interesting how differently people react to something. Personally I found your original post humorous and light, nothing offensive about it. Even this sarcastic one is funny! Its both amazing and encouraging that such a wide variety of people with distinctly different backgrounds and sensibilities come together in these forums and actually share and get along.

I know of no cellphone with a flash synch..but I don't keep up to date with small format.. and besides is it all about the pixel count? Is he posting just to compare sharpness/resolution.. I don't think that was the intent.  Nice to see the work from my point of view.. regardless of size.. too bad  some have a one track mind.
