Quote: Really good portrait. You didnt load any exif data or shot description so I have to assume this is f/1.4. Youve got the near eye perfectly in focus, so its works well. AS you likely know, the lens is better stopped down a little.


Loaded a minor mod where Ive reduced highlights slightly, which has also increased contrast, and Ive applied a very small amount of sharpening to the eye and glasses.


Well done,



regards

I thought that I had loaded the exif... I have added it now. It was shot at f2.0. I was playing with the DoF with this lens as I have only had it for a week or so and wanted to try it wide open (or close to). Controlling the focus point at f1.4 was a little tricky and takes some getting used to.

Thanks for the mod - subtle but much better.

Like Paul, I would prefer to see a greater DoF, certainly sufficient to include his chin. Compositionally, I like it.
