The one that has the caption as having been shot with a Noctilux at F1? The one that looks like it's lit with a direct flash except that the colour balance is yellow and the chap's nose is in focus but his ears are a blur? And that is impressive...how? I am forever beholden to Mr. Bower for having awakened me to the feasibility of using the Leica M for all-round scenic photography. His "Lens, Light and Landscape" is a fine book IMHO.
