Yummy emotionnal shot, Shaggy

And beautiful light in the eyes...

 

Pic is sharp but with a mellow rendering, just what the Sonnar gives...

 

PS: I've noticed your very new avatar

Taken at a friends and family gathering. It was this handsome little chaps birthday too.  Fuji's 18-55 at max zoom.

Thanks Ray

 

I totally and utterly love that lens,only draw back is,it is a swine to get in focus (even with MF assist)

Saying that,I have a lot to thank this lens for (and it's 50mm baby brother),being manual aperture and focus,it

meant that I couldn't rely on the camera doing the work for me.I had to help create the right exposure and focusing!

This is part of the beauty with legacy lenses, Shaggy: you do it all by yourself...

And if well done (as in your pic above) the result is very rewarding

I do like this one MJP...

Nice action and nice background as well...

I should be curious to see how this pic comes in B&W. Just speaking...

Yeah, that's great!

Action and nice grays rendition are here!

 

But I was more refering to the pic above as a whole. The little girl in the left corner, though OOF, shows a great attitude that complements the whole feeling of your pic, for me.

 

I like your color editing: it gives a "special" look at it. A bit like a old "forgoten" Kodachrome slide.

Nice and well balanced IMHO...

I can't find the RAW file.

Don't bother, MJP.

Your pic is great as is in color!

I'm gutted actually, I lost all the RAW's. I'm forever doing this!

Happy thoughts
