Here are some pic from a photoshoot taken in Dallas this pass weekend. Tha boy K-Reata. Oh yea I textured the pics also, don't think I didn't see the grains . Its just a texture
The fuji are a good line of camera's. I own a S7000z (similar to yours) and have the new S3 on order. I'd recommend a fuji to anyone, and I've used the all!
Solid shots you've posted. The texture ruins the clarity of your images though. Keep in mind that photography is an art in itself & doesn't always need post-processing effects to make it appealing.
