You got anything sharp and well exposed?

strange...... a 15 inch print hanging on someones wall look fine, but may be the buyer was blinded by emotion...

there is no correct exposure!....... each subject and its colors require adjustment as does the camera you are using, for example if you are using a medium format camera either with film or digital capture it is a good idea to underexpose 1/2 a stop to enhance colour. Dark colours eat light light colors reflect...... this is not rocket science

over exposing the ambient light value is as valid as any if it suites the idea of the subject!

this concept seems to be lost on some......

Totally wrong, and I'm a medium format user. In either example the final product is a print. This is achieved via an enlarger or a scanned image. An under exposed image will show blocked up shadows (clipped) and will be difficult if not impossible to recover with an enlarger. As for scanning, it's a well known fact (to people that understand the subject) that a "flat" image is NECCESSARY to acquire the full tonal range (hence no clipped areas) and produce the BEST product for subsequent production. 1/2 a stop underexposure on a transparency for instance, which at the best has only a 4 stop range, would result in a totally unusable image.

So, you see, there is a correct exposure and it's essential in the final product- this is photographic science!

But clearly lost on some...........

And I find it ironic that in a previous submission of yours of a similar misaligned doorway, complete with converging verticals and chronic barrel distortion, you also claimed "the buyer" was happy.

your technique has been eaten by your dogma..... so by your definition a pic of a blue sky under exposed by 1/2 a stop would not deepen the colour but be an unusble image......

what absolute rubbish

Is it my eyes, or is the image blurred?

Would be a good subject for HDR I think.
