Nice one Bob, problem with a pic like this, it has to be seen as at least an A3, to be appreciated. Ed.
To each his own!

Hello Craig. Congratulations on getting your 5D III, but I think Ed has made a very good point. Even at its largest size posted here, this is an image that could probably have been made in software using images from any modern camera.
It is a pleasant photo of a pleasant scene, although for me it would be more enjoyable if it had included more of the Wishon Lake, or is it a reservoir - it looks like a dam on the right of the image?
The image presented looks a bit dull and flat to me - that could just be a matter of taste, although it looks like it was shot on a very bright sunny summer's day, so I would have expected more brightness, contrast and colour saturation in the scene.
If you still have one of your previous DSLRs, I think it would be very helpful to anyone here considering the move to FF, if you could make and post any comparison shots which illustrate the advantages of FF over APS-c.
It is good to read that you are now well enough to get out and about with your photo gear - very best wishes for your continued improvement.
Cheers.
Philip

Some of the flatness and lack of color is due to the smoke in the air, 2 wildfires in the area. a large on 30 miles NW and a small one around 2 miles behind me. I was also shooting pictures of the helicopters filling their water buckets from the reservoir.
