pmeheut - Here is the crop but in B&W, so that it fits in with the other images of the book project. Of course the position of the woman is better in relation to the Buddhist images. Nevertheless, I don't know yet if I will use the image in the new book, because the relationship is more conceptual than visual or emotional.
Indeed and more so in B&W: you lose the strong red foreground and so, you end up with a woman and a knife, not a woman in a ocean of meat and blood.

I appreciate that feedback. As one who has tended to always strive for perfect focus and some of the technical details, I have been trying to accept and present some different things. I find it a challenge at times, but in that challenge is growth.

Bokeh changes dramatically when stopped down from 1.1.
This was taken at about f2-ish (identity hidden as would not be happy being posted on the internet!)

Indeed. The change is impressive. I guess aberrations wide open explain it.

My Zeiss ZM 50 1.5 behaves the same way. At 1.5 the bokeh is crazy busy, at F2 it is like a different lens.
I actually like having the option of two different types of bokeh in one lens!

Short time since we last chatted. Welcome to our Leica image posting group. There is a great bunch of Leica shooters here. Glad to see you have had the chance to get out and shoot with your M-E 240. You will find a great group of shooters here.

Thanks - I have posted in this group regularly in the past but all with photos taken with Leica film cameras.
