First real shot. It's wide open at f/2.8 - great bargain it seems so far. Please excuse the mess ups on me trying to get some of her random pieces of hair out of the picture.

Congrats on the 70-200! It's a staple lens in nearly all pro kits!

Photo is lovely.

Have you considered adding a tiny bit exposure and maybe burning the eyes or adding highlights?

I haven't, but, I guess I could edit it again to see. are you saying to add highlights just to the eyes?

Good lens. Nice shot. The eyes already have nice catchlights. You could brighten them -- it's a matter of personal taste.

It's up to each person.

I personally like to add a tiny bit of highlights sometimes to the eyes and color to give portraits a bit more pop. Some don't.

Anyone else misunderstand the title and think the implication was he named his wife 'Magic Drainpipe'?

Beautiful wife. And, she must be nice for letting you get the 2.8. Great catch!

Thanks. It wasn't that expensive. this is the 80-200, not the 70-200
