Thank you Mark, Scott and Guido for the very kind feedback. When
I was shooting this scene I had a good feeling about it.

Processed beautifully with a lot of restraint with the Saturation slider.  Very nice

Thanks Brad. I didn’t want the image to be about colour just what was inmthe scene. Autumn colours can be over the top.

Beautiful. I like it very much.

As an unexperienced amateur (me):
Has any importance with which camera you made the images?

Very "Zen" image… I like the depth of the scene that lets me explore the frame.
Well done!

Stamper, Francois, Rabanito, and Paulo. Thank you for the kind feedback.

Rabinto - I feel I can make images with any camera including of course a iPhone or iPad. There are numerous advantages that the Phase One System gives me that allow me to create extremely large and detailed prints that other camera systems do not give. As well, the features in the camera allow me to capture images that I was not able to capture in the past. This image Autumn Pond Reflection was just installed at 8 feet by 28 feet in a corporate setting. The jpeg of the install that was sent to me shows incredible detail in the print at this size.

I understand, thank you
This is important only when you make such giant prints, I guess.
Probably one cannot appreciate the image as it deserves in our screens.
At what distance are such prints viewed?

This print was installed so it will be viewed at a few feet. My smallest print is typically 30" x 40". Although, I just started a new print series at 17" x 23". I can notice a difference between the different cameras I have used over the years at the smaller size.  For me, its always about producing the best I can do at capture and print. Its not about anything else, the effort that goes into making the images is worth more in my mind than the gear. I sell large prints and want to know that when I capture the image they can be printed large with incredible detail and colour and dynamic range. Of course, this is just my thoughts, others may be happy with whatever they are doing, which is great.
