Well, not to be a contrarian... I still prefer the "unmodified" X20
rendition, since it retains more of the image details than the other
versions. For example, the building in full sunlight at the end of the
street has a distinct left edge and texture in the roof area which is lost
in the other versions. Also, I prefer the transition areas between shadow
and direct light in the lower window frame. But, what caught my eye first is
the richness of color in the window, with pinks distinct from reds, subtle
gradations, and none of the colors looking blown-out.
OK, so maybe I *am* a contrarian!
