Wonderful use of the lens; thanks for sharing with us. In the nice photo of the statue, I would be tempted to darken just a little the sky by using the Luminance adjustment tool in LR; which I think does a nice job of that.

Please keep sharing.

What makes you think this did not happen already?

Because my own experience in working with bright skies with the NX20 under similar conditions when highlights aren't blown (which I think is the case here), if he shot raw. There's lots of room to play with clear and/or partly cloudy skies on NX20 raw photos (jpg's not so much). That's why I like to shoot raw.

And I agree with your following comment. Since I also think it was metered nicely and again if he shot raw, there was very likely the chance of working the sky in this photo more than he did; which was my personal taste/opinion type comment (since he asked for comments). Taste's do vary though.

I actually wanted to praise this for very good metering with no blow highlights - I can't believe shadows and highlights were not already adjusted.
