Here are couple of shots taken with my beloved 1000f during this winter. I am sorry for the scratches, but I was too lazy to clean them

I hate to be so blunt, but I totally agree with Pete. These images are bad on many levels. Most notable is that the developing is dirty & streaky, and the compositions just leave me scratching my head, asking "Is this a belated April Fool's Day joke...?"
But to add insult to injury is the fact that you did not bother at all to clean them up for web presentation. Hasselblad owners are just not this lackadaisical about their images.
Your Hasselblad deserves better respect than what you show it here, as do the members of this forum.
Dear Michael and Pete,
You are totally right, I agree with you that is disrespectful to the other members of the forum to show pictures like this and I am sorry for that. I usually spend lots of time for my series selection/editing but this time I was in big hurry and, well, you saw the results. I will follow your advices the next time.
Olaf, the setup used was 1000F + Tessar 80 f2.8 + expired Kodak PlusX.

Cristif,
You don't need to apologise for "lack of respect to other forum members", that's not important. You took and posted some poor photos, you didn't respect your camera, like Michael said. You would have beeen better off with a "point and shoot" camera for those kind of shots. It's a pity because looking at the location you were in, with those weird pylons and the white blanket of snow, you may have had a chance of some decents shots. I disagree with Olaf, who seems to think any photo with a Land Rover in it is good, you need to include two fried eggs to get a good shot, everyone knows that.

Honest mistake
I understand the disappointment of Olof, Michael and Pete.
Cristif did not have a lucky day this time and took too little time to check his images.
That is all, nobody died.
He is known for some excellent images taken with either his 1000F camera or the 500CM.
Please take a look at his earlier postings.

Now this is me off roading, no just playing in the snow.
Notice that I stopped and held it a foot off the bottom.
Hasselblad 503 CX f/2.8 CF 80mm lens Kodak UC 400 film shot by a friend who worked at a small yellow box company in western New York for 25 years. You probably never heard to the company ==> Eastman Kodak.
