Can you recommend a smartphone that takes photos that look both natural and beautiful? I'm tired of photos that look so fake. What do you think of the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max?

In The Round Practice
Hey everyone. Recently some Pep Ventosa work came across my social media and it inspired me to get out and try his in the round technique again. I've tried it before without a ton of success.

Exploring a different angle.....
I posted recently about how using the Bluristic app angle mode could simulate the action used in the Pep Ventosa 'in the round' technique.

Grain silo
A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

On site, or composite? Cool picture either way.
Thx! It was taken one side in Iceland, Stokksnes with the Vestrahorn in the background.
A cool composition & idea! The mountains in the background a bit blurred, foreground nicely sharp. Looking convincing from this side. Sticking the watch in the black sand looks good: the composition is well hidden. You've done a good job! The watch appears quite huge. I can accept as expression. Odd to me is the color of the watch in contrast to the foreground & overall image color: The watch & its chain appears golden while the rest is in a blue tone. This contrast to too strong to me & appears not trustworthy. Maybe a reduction of the saturation of yellow might help?
Thank you for your kind words and your detailed feed back! The contrast of the golden watch and the blue toned sand is intended by me. What do you mean by "Looking convincing"? You do think it's a composite? Because it's definitly not!
Looking convincing! The complete image should appear to me that things shown has been there. No matter if they really have been there or added later. When I get the impression something seems to be manipulated, it is ' not convincing'.
Yes, that is my assumption: a composit. Especially that high color contrast led me to this conclusion. If it is not a composit, I am wrong. You made the photo and know it.
When you say, you applied the strong contrast with intention. Ok, we enter the area of personal taste. What one like, may another dislike. There is lkie or not. No right or wrong.
I love your phorography. It seems original to me.
It does not seem to me a composite.
The saturation of the clock is the same as that of the soil particles. So I see it as correct. Maybe my advice would be to lower the brightness of the clock a bit.
Anyway, it's a great job!
Thank you very much for your feedback!
