What is this photo telling us, or conveying. It's nicely exposed, focused, etc., but I'm not sure why I'm looking at it. B.

Arne I would have mad it a bit tighter. There is too much space between her and the ash tray. I did a little photoshop magic to the image and moved the ash tray closer and then cropped tighter. I tried cropping tighter without the ashtray and it didn't work. The ashtray sort of anchors that corner of the image and sends the eye back around to the subject. Without the ashtray you eye just goes out the white space in the lower right and never returns. I put the edited version up at the link below. http://home.istar.ca/~robsteve/paw02edit.jpg The lens and film seem to do a beautiful job together. Looks like the 28mm Summicron-M is a winner.
