This is a compelling photo.  Your subject's elfen smile, the amazingly
creamy tonality of skin tones, and then the visual SNAP of the iris of
her left eye right smack-dab in focus with the
nearly-impossible-to-nail-up-close 75mm Summilux.  That contrast
verges on being a little disturbing, but that's part of what makes it
impossible not to pay attention to.

Well done you.
