Consumer Reports says my Motorola cell phone take lousy pictures. Didn't have my Canon 80D with 18-135 USM lens with me so I had to use my poor cell phone to take this wintershot,

I take anything Consumer Reports says with a grain of salt.

Great composition.

I don't put much stock in Consumers Reports - it seems when they review something I am very familiar with, I often don't agree with them. But I'm sure they were comparing photos from your phone to other higher end phones. I can't tell much about the image quality from such a small file. If we could compare full resolution photos from your phone to full resolution photos from better phones, we might see their point.

From that example I consider the report was correct.

That's not to say that there may be conditions where it can produce superior results to what you have posted here.

Well, I frankly was surprised at the quality of the picture, at least the composition. Here's an earlier, darker version.

I have a four-year old Motorola G6, and it seems like you win some, you lose some with it. I like your shot, which is pretty good considering the time of year and the light we've been getting 🤍🤍🤍

As with chocolate, darker rules.

But the first version you posted exhibited far inferior quality compared with the second version. It appeared extremely 'crunchy' and over sharpened.

I did over sharpen the first one but to my ancient eyes the earlier version looked a little fuzzy. Thanks for all your comments. I like the earlier one, too. To me the "eye" thus the composition is by far the most important factor in taking photos.

I read Consumer Reports for about a year. I was researching a new ink jet printer and they had a HP model ranked highest with about 3-4 stars out of 5. Read the reviews from the members and they had it rated 1 of 5 stars. I let the subscription lapse and haven't looked back.
