Two pix from new camera

[Vtec44]

The Nikon D7000 is definitely a lot of camera, especially jumping from a FujiFilm S2 Pro. I've been spending a lot of time in the last few days trying to understand the the behavior of the camera, mostly the combination of ISO, f-stop, exposure compensating, saturation and contrast settings. I personally think this camera is much harder to take good pictures than my old FujiFilm but so far no buyer's remorse.... yet... :blushing:

Two test pictures

Pic #1, right out side of my work place. It's under exposed and the white balance is a bit off but my gray card is on its way!!

Pic #2, my front yard playing with the focus system...

The first one looks like a post card!

I am arguing with myself over the red plant in the bottom left. Half of me says clone it out
The other half says no, it relates to the red plants close to the building.
Then the first half says "pffft...those are so insignificant"
And then the other half says "well if you weren't viewing it on such a small screen they would be more noticeable"
Then the first half says the second half is a jerk. Then the second half says "screw you" and heads off to the kitchen to make a cocktail consisting of unfiltered Sake, Habeñero/ simple syrup, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

The first half is left to suggest you correct for distortion of the verticals.

Why is the cascading water of the fountains so blue? Cascading water should be white.

Probably my white balance is a bit off and on top of that the water is dyed blue.
