Allow me to add a few words to the discussion above (well already on the previous page):
On this page we have quite a few examples of a different approach to color:
Helena's pics i would call "Northern realistic" i.e. it shows me how the light and colors could have looked like in her northern hemisphere at the given time.
Philippe's first version is what i would prefer, the second one looks overdone and i a certain way artifical (to me).
Very subtle tones in Kater's pic, maybe not very realistic but very pleasant.
Kerin: The shot is oversaturated but it gives a good impression on the "Blue Tunnel" feeling you might had, the saturation has a function that works.
Finally my own shot: There is no color at all
.... i tried to escape color and find structures, lines, waves, shadows etc.
My short sum up: There's no right or false here it's more a matter of what you want to show, what you saw or felt. I agree here in full what Jim said in his post. Sometimes, when you are lucky, you succed and the viewer get's close to you - and that will not be dependent if the photographer did a lot of pp or none, shoot raw or jpeg, Film, color or BW. This lens or that one....
In general i see, not here in the forum, but e.g. in Flicker's Explore a lot of very oversaturated very colourful seemingly "pleasing " or "spectacular" pics, specially landscapes and to me this is getting boring very fast - it has the look of obvious overcooking and overtaking. The same applies to the popular darkish high contrast BW's.
Most of these pics just dont "reach" me , they dont come...and touch me.
Cheers
Werner

I have a self imposed rule that doesn't allow me to post until I have caught up with everyone else's posts. It is becoming increasingly difficult to comply, but it is always worth it! Some wonderful pictures and some very interesting discussion on these last few pages.

Peter, wonderful images and your presentation or edit is right on the money for my taste.
True that I would like to see a little punchier sky in Philippe’s image but in your image, I am referring to the first image, I love the subtle palette of colors. Why? Well, there is a fair amount of fog in your image and making the overall image punchier would “kill” the mood. The point I am trying to make is that my preference towards one spectrum or the other does have to do with the actual shooting conditions and what the conditions convey in terms of mood. There is no way that I would apply my preference, one way or the other, across the board without considering the shooting conditions.

Thanks Joshua. I find often these sunrise/sunset shots very difficult. I played around with this one for hours trying to get the right balance between the light on the silhouetted trees and the background sky.
No filters with this one but with the valley above I used a Hard Grad Lee filter.
Voigtlander 65 again!

Cracking set of images, Peter! Your first one (the foggy one) left me wide-eyed and open-mouthed. Jealous doesn't even begin to describe my feelings.
And René, and Joshua, and Werner, and Lieutenant Z...
Totally different treatment from Etretat (prepared before Joshua's comment, just so you should know)

Cross post from the Nikon manual focus thread:
Here's a few from my Nikkor 200/2 Ais, which regretfully is up for sale in the B&S forum.
These are with the Sony A7II

The view from Arapahoe Basin toward Keystone mountain and beyond. The first is a three image vertical pano. The rest are single image exposures.

Beautiful images lately. I see some serious sensor reflections a few images back. Has anyone else experienced this with their new A7RIIIs?
