Fujifilm X-Pro1

  • A Fujifilm X-Pro1 camera with a lens on a white background
    Cutout (Approved) There’s shadow above the lens. A reflector would helped to show details in that area.

    Blue gradient (Rejected) Too much blue on the top and gradient should be darker. Too similar image compared to last one.
