Nice IR, @Darthfeeble........ enough IR effect to make striking images, but not overdone. I see that the Lily shot was IR-converted in Silver Efex. Presumably, the Westport image was done in the same way?
If I may offer some (hopefully!) constructive criticism: for my taste, the Westpoint shot seems a little over-sharpened. I've read about Flickr's upload algorithm sharpening images automatically. Might that be the cause? Oddly, I don't perceive the same, with the Lily image.
BTW, good to see that you're shooting the original x100. Mine still sees regular use - great camera!

Essence of Spanish moss. I wanted to hang it on Xmas trees when I was a boy.

I had the camera converted to IR and then process those pink to purple images in Silver Effex. I like a very sharp image and SE makes them ever so, I think the original is fine. The beach shot was on a monopod and the lily hand held which might account for the softness.

The calla is deeply satisfying, Steve.
I like the beachscape, too; I think this is an example of what, among other goals, engraving and etching wanted to do as monochromatic arts before photography became widespread, and what certain artists with sharp eyes and sharp tools accomplished.
Along those lines, it does not seem to me that photographers feel compelled to choose sharp over soft, color over monochrome, film over digital. The number of media available to fine artists who work with their hands—oil, water, gouache, ink, fresco, woodblock, screen print, etching, etc.—should be a positive example for similar breadth and experimenting by photographers.

My pit bull rescue we take too many photos of him and he hates it.
Just had it repaired and returned from Fuji USA.
Fuji X100T, straight from camera.

Thanks Robert. I have to agree, the result not the method should be what we appreciate.
