[Leica] IMG: Zoe

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Thanks to everyone who commented.
I realize it's not extremely sharp (f 1.4 and?close (Summilux)). It was low 
light (so flat), low f-stop, and shaky hands...
Nonetheless it is evocative for me.
And as for boomeranging, I completely understand; I've been through this 
with my other 2.
That said, this is my baby...
Again, thanks,
Bob

Bob, it is a lovely intimate casual portrait. It's all in her eyes like most
of the best of these. Zoe is clearly a beautiful young lady. I think that
you should insist that she stays home with her dad for at least another year
so that you can take advantage of this recent willingness to stand in front
of your camera. Or at least come home to visit very regularly.
Now I have to go a little tech here. This is a pretty smooth and gentle
rendition in detail and contrast (perfect for your subject of course). Would
you like to divulge some details? An older 90 maybe? Or just some good post
handling? Maybe the sharpest focus is a little behind her eyes?

Cheers
Geoff

Suddenly my daughter is letting me photograph her. I think she's nervous
about going off to her first year of college. I know I am :-)
