My favorite place in Tokyo, Yushima Seido Temple taken on the 7r3 and the 50 F/1.4 at f/5.6. The more I use this lens, although its heavy the IQ just blows me away.

Been really really busy at work since returning from our lovely trip to Florence. It is easy to question whether the vacation was worth all the work when I returned, but now that I am calming down a bit and looking again at how lucky I was to enjoy two weeks in Italy, well, it was worth it. 
Here is one that I just processed. An image like this is hard for me as adding contrast/clarity/dehaze and the like is so tempting. I think I like how this looks as is without too much fiddling, but happy to receive criticism, of course. It was a lovely sunrise taken from Piazalle Michaelangelo--a stitch panorama using the CV 40/1.2 on a tripod.

and Loxia 85 (my wife said it looks like the holly bush in the middle is doing some photo-bombing!)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...Show more →
+1, love the soft colour and subtle tone in that misty shot

The 2 day Tiger Leaping Gorge trek in Yunnan starts with a 4 hour straight climb, hitting 30 to 45 degrees for large parts of the climb up the 70 to 80 degree slopes. With this being China concrete steps have been built in numerous places to aid with the climb (it helps when wet anyway) and also helps the ponies & donkeys carry loads up the mountain. For US$8 I couldn't resist having a pony aid me with my 60L,17-18 kgs, backpack ! This covers the final two hours of the climb, the notorious '28 Bends' and the pony helped shave an hour off of this sector for me 
The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain range (so called for it's similarity to a dragon's back) can be seen in the distance. The highest peak is at 5,596 m (18,360 ft).

Thanks guys ;-)
As for the discussion re saturation, sometimes we just have to work with what we've been given in terms of light etc.
This time i was exceptionally lucky

Thanks Peter !
Indeed it isn't only clarity (from the colder, thinner, clean, air) but also saturation. Everything seems to be sharper, more saturated and defined. One of the numerous reasons that I've fallen in love with high mountain hiking. I'm sure others here that also hike high (Mike Reid etc ?) can also testify to this phenomenon.

Yes, the light is different because it's been filtered by less and cleaner air, contrast is high, shadows crisper, and you can see much farther. A whole different world up high.

We're closing in on 2600 pages and this thread continues to amaze with high quality work on every single page. Keep up the marvelous work, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm still wondering how this is possible given how all the distractors keep telling us that all the wonderful pictures in this thread are taken with a stupid electronics company's toys that don't qualify as real cameras.

Indeed and South Island New Zealand can often share those qualities at quite low altitudes as well as in the mountains.
I have been fiddling around with the processing of this shot ever since I took it at the end of September. Now happy with the colour at any rate!
