Jusrt picked in when I saw popping up responses to this thread. This is a shot that is so unreal, that it is the more exceptional that it's coming just off sensor, without practically any PS work. Best ad for the M8 I've seen so far. Which still stays too expensive for me, BTW. (And not meaning it can't be brought even further with PS either.) (Which is the case for any camera ATM ;-) But whatever the camera: such great craftsmanship. Awesome.
