They are both very good. :)

Interestingly I viewed them last night on my calibrated MacBook screen and at the moment on my uncalibrated work PC screen. Nothing better illustrates the difference between the two. The images on my Mac are much more contrasty with the graduation on the second image gradually fading to pure black at the base of the image. If this is the accurate representation of the original then I'm very impressed with the latitude of FP4. :P

Hi thanks for your kind comments !

The last one Boats at the backwaters was on ERA pan 100 scanned on an epson v700 No adjustments were made to it except slight burning of the sky and sorting out dust spots. So yep it is a true representation of the original. I bit the bullet and had a 3ft print done for an exhibition i have comming up (I hope that wasn't a bad move)
