Big lackluster highlights and brittle bokeh. I see death as hard and sharp not soft. A backlit shot with a cheap zoom lens on a Leica body does your dead pet deserve better? Why not go back maybe with a tripod and shoot it with a fixed focal length lens? Maybe even a Leica lens god forbid? For me this stands out as by far your worst shot on your whole page. If you're going to put a cheap zoom lens on your Leica body it's better you don't even tell us untill later. Then when we all say how great it is you can go "SEE! I knew i didn't really have to waste money on this LEICA CRAP!" I'm glad i flat out refuse to shoot with cheap glass any more. Life's too short.
