[Leica] There is a light that never goes out

[Peter Dzwig]

Without a shadow of a doubt, the first one is my pick. A great shot, all 
the qualities of a great Leica shot: un-noticed by the subject, discrete 
and a moment well-caught.

I ask to shot a portrait of she, but the Bar was so dark that it was very difficult for me focusing at 1:0, I could hardly see anything, plus the M6 rangefinder shows flare in some cases, I remembered Ted's quote “If you can see it, you can shot it”, I finally shot and the portrait didn't turn out bad at all.
