I must admit that I'm struggling with this one, Boris, and it's hard to explain why (but I'll try).
I ~want~ to like it. I feel like I ~should~ like it. But for some reason it's just not coming together. I think it's a question of balance. The leaves are too prominent both in terms of brightness and as a compositional element. They just overpower the image. Which is a shame because I really like the delicate background. I don't know. Maybe a crop that takes away a bit of the leaves and toning them down a bit in brightness? I think it's a really good photo but something's just not "coming out" right for me. Feels like it should be much better. Now, as for Galia, that young lady is ~seriously~ good! Both of her shots are amazing. Please tell her that for me.

My recent purchase was that of K-5 with Canon ee-S focusing screen. More about the screen can be found here: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-k-5-forum/142241-best-screen-ever-manual-focus-canon-ee-s.html The screen is blank but it is extremely good for manual focusing. The focus pop, so to say is excellent. And specifically in this case it was properly shimmed. (That would be an answer to your question in another thread, Larry.) So, the PESO below is shot with my trusty A 50/1.2 at f/1.2... http://pentax-ways.blogspot.com/2012/04/peso-2012-16-nocturne.html Have your say. Also if you click on "Older post" you will find two more PESOs shot and processed by Galia. Cheers!
