Bookmark - Horsetooth Bloom (Flowers and Blooms Series) / Estes Camera Comparison

This is sort of a bloom, I think.  Captured while hiking the trails of Horsetooth next to Fort Collins, back in 2011.

That was interesting trip, because it offered opportunity to compare the Big Cahoona (the Nikon D300s) with the point-and-shoot used five years earlier (the Fujifilm 7000) at the same places.  On one hike while there - on the Emerald Lake Trail in Estes State Park - I made a deliberate effort to capture the same scene, as can be seen below.

Which looks better?  At a glance either could win, but zooming in for a close inspection reveals the technical superiority of the DSLR.
