Title: Spring On Fire - First post.
Post by: thejimmy86 on April 21, 2015, 11:13:57 am: Hi everyone, my name is David, I'm new to the forum, and pretty new to photography in general (less than 2 years) especially compared to some of the veterans here. I'm shooting with an LX100 and Rebel t3i - mostly the LX because to be honest it's the best camera I've laid hands on so far.

Looking forward to another great year, spring is here!

For me, the photo is well framed, but the focused part is too dark.

And you have an unfocused part (lower right) that is too bright and attract the attention.

If you have Lightroom, you can easily cure that with the radial tool.

Have a Nice Day.

Thierry

+1, although without a doubt you nailed the focus. Wow, that's sharp.

The LX100 gets the credit for the sharpness. It's image quality is amazing and so is the auto focus.
