It looks just right on my monitor. I have used -.3 and -.7 in the past, but lately everything has been coming out fine without any compensation. I often use the 50/1.4G on the D40X, but today I didn't have it with me. This picture would have benefitted from throwing the background more out of focus. Thanks for your kind comments on it.
