Thank you. But I need criticism to learn! I took a picture of my wife and every pore, wrinkle, blemish...they all showed with this camera. She told me to delete it. I saved it to my blackmail file :wink:

Tell her to buy you perfect portrait and you can fix the pic./

First..thanks to everyone who helped me figure out how to attach these pictures. At least I hope they're attached. I received my camera Friday and went out Saturday and took a few pictures. These were taken in aperture priority. Not much thought given to composition..just wanted make something happen! I know I have a lot to learn but the technology packed into this really small package is truly amazing. Critiques are MOST welcome. Thanks.

Gene,
You made an excellent choice in selecting a camera. It's a great camera to take on vacation. Your posting proves the capability of the camera. I happen to own the precursor to that camera (RX100M2 w/EVF) I took it on a vacation to Scotland and Ireland and got some really great photographs.

You seem to be asking for guidance in how to take better photos. I suggest it's a "mind set." You must think about what kind of photo you want to take. Do this before you even reach for your camera. Plan how you can make the photograph that you have in your mind happen, only then reach for your camera. Congratulations on making a wise choice in buying an excellent little camera.

Thank you. The claity is astounding to me. Just not used to it yet. I remember the movie Blowup...great flick.
I am a fan of photorealism painting..i.e., David Hockney. I am going to try and develop a photographic sense of this type of art. again...appreciate your comments!

What I was saying... the clarity is fantastic... the DOF astounding... great camera. The use of the "weird" comment was stating that the young generation is not use to seeing the crispness of a good camera... they live with a 3" viewing world with questionable quality... and are astounded by the "shock and awe" of a photo like the one you have shown.

Regarding composition, within this one shot, I look and consider this to be a fine example of street photography. So many stories going on at one time; the viewer is there living in that moment of time. This one photo is a chapter in a book. I was, clumsy as I am at times, stating that with the out put of this fine camera you could crop out many photos; many cameras lose clarity with crop, this one may well be an exception.

Years ago there was a movie called "Blow Up" in which a guy took a photo of someone and in the back ground there was a murder going on. He could see it clearly in the "blow up" of that photo. No, did not see a murder in your photo... I saw sharp detail and nuances of lighting. You chose a great camera, congratulations.
