Zara, thanks so much for responding with the adjustments and posting the originals; very helpful. In the shot with the Popsicle stick, I really love the light to dark fade, which helps the face stand out. I also really like how the jacket fades as well. Very nicely done.

Any portrait shots with the tube on 85/1.2L ? Must be very unique look !

thx

I might have some around here somewhere, but I don't see any right away. You need the tube for tight headshots of kids; the MFD is too long otherwise (unless you crop). I've found that I have to stop down to f/1.8 to have any chance of getting both eyes in focus--even when they're parallel to me--when using the tube.

A couple more with different girls. I tell you the 85L attracts pretty women, what can I say.

Lide, I think that's a very strong photo because of the human interaction portrayed in it.

Thanks for the comment.

The photo was taken during a rehearsal dinner before the wedding day, grandma read a lovely poem for the new couple, great moment and very touching, she was 90+ years old that time...

We all thought she would pass the poem to the couple after she finished the reading, but she held it for a moment and pass it to them, acted like a young kid.

Cheers

BM Studios - the 2nd shot is stunning and a very good example of how ultra-shallow DOF should be used. But just to be a little nitpicky, I would clone out the 2 or 3 hair strands on the face of the bride.

You're kidding right !!!! Tell me you're kidding before I start nitpicking too...BTW, I was focusing on the veil in the first shot not the eyes, I know how to manual focus....didn't realize I was asking for critique...jeeeesh

Very nicely done, Peter! The background is awesome and the subject just pops! I don't think the 85/1.8 can do this.

This image has Cartier-Bresson written all over it. One of the most touching images I've seen on this site for some time.
