One of the biggest questions on my mind lately is do I need to take my SLR (big camera), Nikon D750 with me on vacation or can I just take my cell phone, a Google Pixel 7 Pro? 

I recently returned from a long trip to England. As I was editing pictures from the Henry Moore Estate I realized I had a lot of pictures to compare. The lighting was gorgeous, just after a rain storm. 

What do you think? 

Since the pictures are small it would be helpful to click on them and see them larger. 

I also realize that the biggest difference is going to come in the enlarging. I will get to that soon. I always print pictures from my summer travels for my office for the upcoming school year. Right now I thought it would be interesting to see what you think about these pictures that were taken with two different cameras at virtually the same time. 

Which do you prefer?
