Thanks Jaques, I try very hard and sometimes it works. Most times NOT. I looked at your portfolio and seeing the last 10 postings, I thought, "He's given up the ladies' but then I looked further and breathed a sigh of relief . Groete, Cas.
You did pretty well here Cas, you preserved detail pretty well and colors seem natural. Oh, I see you have an FZ-8 !! Great, once I owned an FZ-5 with Leica lens. Great machines.
This dogrose I like even most of both for its fine detail and surprising shadows. The contrast is very good. Perfect look on South African Spring time, congrats Cas, all the best, Paul
