Seeing as we hijacked your thread, I should comment.
Hard luck about the M8 - I had one for a while and it had a
rangefinder misalignment out of the box (serious back focussing) which
took me a while to pick. The local agent sent it back to Germany! Took
3 months - no apology but they gave me free service on the 3rd Gen.
90mm Summicron I sent with it to make my point. I never felt good
about it after that and sold it on.
I really like Alt 4 though I'd bump the colour and brightness I think
but that might be my monitor that needs a tweak - they all look a tad
dull to me.
But alt 5 is outstanding - not because there's a cute kid in it. I
actively dislike small children - they run up all bright and noisy and
whatever and I stare them down. They need to know, not everyone will
forgive them.
No, I like the general composition, the isolation of the figures -
even that odd V shape in the lower centre is just right, opening up
into the sand. I'd monochrome that one.
