Hi Chandos,

First, let me say that I really like this picture!

Now, an observation.

One of the photo habits of which I've generally broken myself is
putting my subject smack dab in the center of the frame.  I still do
it occasionally, when it seems to be the right thing and sometimes it
even works.

I've noticed that a bunch of the Noctilux photo's that folks have
posted to the group are bullseye compositions.  And, they all seem to
work well.  I wonder if it's the wonderful bokeh of the Noctilux that
makes the background so interesting it becomes a strong part of the
image?
