Your comment on the compressibility is interesting. I wonder if in this case it might just be the fine frequency of the grass detail exacerbated by the sensor resolution in your M8? Or my left eye shooter's brain tumour?? I'll take too much resolution any time! Anyway, very much looking forward to seeing more from this series.

In fact no selective work except spotting out some sensor dust that was in the sky. I think any artifacts that you are seeing and the sharpening in the details are all effects of the jpeg compression. I read somewhere else that M8 files do not compress well (too much detail?) and I agree. The web sized jpegs seem to deteriorate quite a bit more with the M8 files than they do with the Canon files, but I like the M8 tiff files better than the Canon tiff files!!!
