Thanks, Sol. I agree that the red button adds a lot to the image. The viewfinder would have been more prominent if I hadn't reduced saturation there - which probably made it a little sepia-toned.
I snapped this photo as a way of seeing the composition before using my DSLR. When I examined this version, I noticed that the black corrugated shows every little dust speck. I was able to remove most of it with a damp cloth before moving on.

Thank you, Lynne. Initially I was concerned that the ribs in the corrugated material would detract from the composition, but I realized during post processing that they add to it. The club members had positive comments on the composition and the camera, too.

Thank you, Pam. I shared six flat lay images with the club members and they were well received by all. Those images were via DSLR, but the same in principle as this one. One member commented that I had courage to show a film camera to a digital camera club!

Thank you, Stephen, for your kind words. Just as you say, it is a legendary camera. I should use it more often.

Thanks, Dave. I still use a film camera occasionally. It's a slower and nostalgic way of making photos.

Thank you, Dick. I hand-held the iPhone over the items. I had to put a little wedge under the front of the Hasselblad to get the image in the viewfinder. I placed the lens cap in a way to add a little tension, or interest, to the shot to keep it from feeling rigid or stiff.

Thank you, Jerry. It is an amazing camera. I don't use it often these days partially due to the significantly increased cost of film and processing. A roll of 120 color film can be $12-$20 even at Amazon. I mail the rolls for processing since there are no local labs. In total, it costs about $2.50 per shutter click.

Fun image! Most any image with a dog appeals to me. The red sweaters on the white dogs draw the viewer into the scene. The old adage goes, "If it's red, shoot it!" I wonder if you've seen the guy in NYC who photographs people's dogs on the street. He's "The Dogist" on Instagram, ticktock, Facebook, and in print. His technique is to approach the owner/walker and ask permission to photo the dog which usually leads to a pleasant conversation.

I guess I'm a contrarian. For me, the DFX edit makes it look like the animals are wading in water, and that seems illogical with everything else in the frame. The old postcard look is a nice idea, but perhaps brushing the effects out in some areas would be a good idea. It's all personal choice, of course. I'm sure the snow coach excursion was enjoyable.

Really nice images. It does seem unusual to see these birds quietly perched in a flock. Usually is it one or two scurrying across the sand. Both images are great. Good colors and tack sharp. I prefer the more dynamic wave splashing version. I'm not a birder, so that probably colors my opinion. Nicely done.

I haven't had that problem with Snapseed, and perhaps Jerry has the best solution to fix it. I do post-processing on my iPad, so maybe that makes a difference.
I'm a fan of BW images. In this case, though, I prefer the color version. I like the warm light. Color adds separation between the trees and the sky, too. It's a personal choice.
I agree with your crop/straightening choices. Nice shot.

Jerry, this is a nice creative interpretation of the scene. The tree, the barn, and the cow hold the viewer in the image. The background from DFX adds interest and gives the image a painterly appearance. I like the crop, too. Nice image.

As mentioned, the image is quite small which makes it difficult to evaluate. Generally, though, it looks like a nice scene of buttes and great clouds. I imagine the adventure in the State Park was a fun afternoon.
