p.1 #1 · Funny little headshot of a boxer from Waltham. Taken on "Boxing Day, 2025"

Congratulations to jacquesvroom for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 2 votes - View Previous Winners

End of the year puzzlement:

Lens: See below.
Camera: A7R5

Working on a little study comparing/contrasting images from half-a-dozen proper portrait-length lenses [50mm to 85mm] for Sony FF. Highly-flawed scientific method, but maybe faintly interesting, when done.

Guess this lens, win a prize, whose details are tbd, but certain to be highly desirable, I am sure!

Subject: "Joe Louis English Patterson"

Best wishes to all for a glorious 2026.

Are you sure he is a boxer? He looks so gentle.

Nice image! The expression is great! Is that a Peter Hurley setup I see reflected in his eyes?

Charles, you are right, I�m pretty sure he was messing with me! 😀😀

Larry, you also are right. That�s one of the most pronounced triangles I�ve seen. Sometimes I make it less overtly Hurleyesque, but not this time!

The catchlights in his eyes are very noticeable in this shot and look quite unusual. Other than that I think you have a winner.
