Re: Autumn colors, NX1100, 20-50mm
Nice, lifelike, colors in your pictures - at least on my notebook screen,
especially the third and the first picture.
The third picture looks real, and invites, to grab into the picture, but I would have to watch the pictures on my graphics-screen, to know...
...I think, if you would show it in the Sigma forum, most would think, that picture 3 is from a Foveon camera.
The sharpening is good, maybe a tad more micro contrast, for viewing at 100% - especially picture 2.
Picture 1, is probably the best compromise for most viewers.
Picture 2, will probably suit most Fuji user's, because of the (relative) softness.
Picture 3 could cause a lot of discussions between Foveon fans and people, who think, that one can also take crisp pictures, with popping colors, with a lot of other cameras, without a over-processed look.

However, the composition of the pictures (perspective, angle of view, positioning of objects in the frame), isn't that interesting in my opinion...
...but that is true for more than 80% of pictures shown on dpreview...
...so, in my opinion, based on the shown pictures, you show relative good post processing skills and mediocre composition skills.

A example, which shows the three main aspects (color, sharpness and framing of a scene), like I perceive them - in Adobe RGB (watch the color management of your software and screen).
A (technically intendet, real world snapshot) sample from a NX1000 with the 12-24mm zoom:
...there are nice little features in the frame, that spice up the scene, for the trained eye. (AdobeRGB!)
Please give you a favour and watch this as original, otherwise it looks not really interesting!
The zoom function (and the standard view you see here) of the forum delivers other sharpness, details, contrast and colors (probably because it is Adobe RGB and thus the color-management has to work properly within the forum software and the used browser)!
It is a sample with the priority technic. The composition is limited because it is uncut (due to the technical aspect). the scene is suited for the purpose to test the capabilities of the zoom lens under snapshot conditions...
(I took the picture on the first stroll with the new 12-24mm lens.)
