This is what happens when you take a quick shot and don’t notice that you’ve accidentally moved the focus point! It kind of works as it is though.

The colors and the tones in the first shot---the house with the dark night sky---are really phenomenal.
It's a great image, Bobby.

Outtakes Day 5 (July 5): Mowing Day
Two more outtakes from Mowing Day - aka the day don José mowed the upper acre of overgrown wild grasses and weeds, early in the morning.
The first was taken with the GRII's in-camera 'positive film' setting--
The second, another from the series, was tweaked in Silver Efex (and Color Efex too) for a monochrome look which somehow felt much closer to the spirit of this particular image, to me at least.

I believe you have said on one or two occasions that the GR III seems to shine in closer shots - where the photographer is in close (or closer) to the subject - but this photograph seems to suggest two things to me: first, that perhaps the GR III is also quite good at wider landscape-like views - and second that you are expanding your already broad horizons - of what you can do with this little camera with a great lens - by leaps and bounds.
That's the long version. The short version is: this is a very cool photo. And I really like it.

I'm posting one more set of 'Outtakes' from my Day 5 which are technically not really outtakes from SiJ - for which I am only using my GRii this month - but, rather, additional 'take' of the same subject - which was 'Mowing Day' for the field of overgrown grass above my old farmhouse. These particular 'outtakes' were taken by another camera, my little X30 (which I'm using for Day-to-Day) but as they offer a different look at the same subject, they seem to belong.
The man in question is don José, who has been farming and driving tractors for decades; here, after finishing the mowing, he is expounding on his many mowing and gardening stories---
Here, he is making a point--
And here, he is simply waxing lyrical - as well as enjoying the warmth of an Oregon summer morning---

No question, David: the 20mm f/1.7 is simply a great lens.
And you are getting the best out of it.

Thanks a lot, Miguel. The only thing I'm a little unhappy with is the fact that forum compression crushes the subtle detail in the foreground and renders the shadows very dark; the original is a tad less bold, but better balanced. Yes, the GR III is a real powerhouse. But I'm struggling with the handling, especially the framing - however, reconfiguring Touch AF makes a noticeable difference (I had it set to "AF and release" - like I used to do on the Olympus E-PL7 - but the smaller form factor made usingt that as accurately as necessary too awkward for me; new setting: AF point setting only ...).

Two outtakes from my subject-of-the-day, an ancient and tiny Japanese doll, who is perched on the edge of a modern Japanese-designed laser printer, in my living room - two more shots, each processed in a different way.
The first in color---
The second in monochrome, a lightly-tweaked version of the GRII's in-camera 'Hi-Contrast B&W' setting--
