I would say BW was right choice. Color might (maybe not) distract from composition and whats important.. Tho, I would like to see color variant too.
i was trying to decide whether to make the color version darker than real life with deeper colors or more real with bright mist. there's not all that much color to be distracting, especially with the mist in the realistic one:

I understand why it was hard to decide. Yep, it looks pretty good in color too.. I guess I prefer BW. There isnt anything wrong with colors, just that BW looks more like "art".
Tho I suspect, BW somehow does that with most pics..
RX1 and your PP together have pretty nice colors.. (84/81 SMI on DxOMark.. yea that explains .

I'm torn. I think I would like the B&W better if it were darker or with more contrast maybe? I agree with Michelle regarding the color version and the sand.
Here's an 'almost'. I thought I set the camera to shoot full speed multiple frames but this is the only frame captured. Unfortunately the woman's eyes are closed (no, not Cameron's). I like the conversion nonetheless.

Great shots everyone!
Seboh, definitely prefer the B&W version. The second shot is superb. Love the flow of the lines through the tree and branches!
Bob, brilliant capture!!

With RX1 prices softening all the time I'm soo tempted and looking through the wonderful photographs above does nothing to dissuade me from opening my wallet, however, in my more rational moments ( thankfully few) I have to say to myself that I don't see very much above that could not have come from my X100, that is, I don't see very many shots that exemplify the shallow 'DOF look' that the bigger sensor is supposed to be capable of.
Of course looking at web stuff is no substitute for looking a the real OOC files but this doubt is sufficient at present to delay my making that 'buy decision' . So, apart from the occasional shallow DOF shot and bigger/higher res files with maybe better low light abilities, what else can I expect from this nice little camera?

- Huge dynamic range.
- A very discrete package because of it's appearance and silent leaf shutter.

yeah, i couldn't find a way to boost the contrast/blacks in b&w without destroying the mist effect. the best way i found was to deepen colors, but i wasn't really happy with how that looked.
i really like your last shot. i think the eyes closed look is beneficial, gives her a more meditative look.

These two adjacent mountain peaks are often in the clouds. Today the sky was clear so my wife and I took off with our cameras.
fantastic shots!
my parents were in the area today, and called to tell me how beautiful it was.

also, when you do want shallow dof at f/2 you can put the subject absolutely anywhere in the frame and expect it to be crisp and contrasty, which isn't really the case with the x100s. in low light you can totally take landscape shots at f/2 with the rx1 as well.
more than anything though, the look at f/2 is very different from the x100 lens. the x100 has more of a classic lower contrast with slightly funky bokeh look while the rx1 crisp and contrasty with a shockingly smooth bokeh.
a few wide open portraits that i think would look very different on the x100(s):

Incredibly busy again, but mostly for nice reasons (lots of trips). A couple of days ago we returned home from a great week in northern Norway and tomorrow I'm off to Oslo. Not enough time for commenting right now, but I have used the Like button.
This and that from the trip up north (lots of decayed stuff which I can never resist - for landscapes I mostly used the Fuji X-E1):

4. Far up north...

7. The country border runs through this lake, so Norway to the left and Russia to the right. The buildings are the border check point, one of the few places where you are allowed to cross, but only with the correct paperwork, of course.

Very nice Helena. BTW, I like that last one better than the one you posted in the Fuji thread.
Thank you! Yes, now when I have processed the RX1 file I agree, mostly because of the curved path.. Before processing the Fuji looked much better though - it only needed a bit of contrast, while this one needed lots of adjustments to get colors I like. However, there's no doubt that RX1's files are superior, they seem to be able to handle endless processing and are incredibly sharp even at pixel level.

very interesting comment about the country borders, I am going to have to find out about it being one of the few places people are allowed to cross, thanks for the wonderful pics
