The first image is strong, although I find the brick wall a little distracting (maybe just a bit too much CEP?) but I think I like the second image even more than the first, although it was posted for other reasons, as it really comes across as an adventurous composition and technically outstanding.

thanks Robert!

 

The 2nd image as indicated is only a crop of the first image. The first image is about as close as I can get without going into macro mode...the wall is very typical South African, and yes I did darken some parts of it in post. I try and shy away from 'pretty' portraits and that's why I prefer the 35mm lens, because it shows a bit more of the environment, even if its just a bit brick wall. I really don't like cropping my images, except square, which could also have worked here, I think. I stay within my frame format even to the detriment of the 'composition', I really don't mind not having a perfect image, but that is just me of course...:)

 

i!have worked with the 35mm equivalent lens for more than two years now and sometimes wish I had something a bit longer, like a 80mm or so, it would help a bit with distortion in closeups like this and there would still be a bit of background...but then I would have to buy another camera and lenses and... and..it all just adds to the decision making process...so for now the 35mm it is....
