Everyone who has commented on the Zeiss optics points to the texture of
the LSU baseball hat! Maybe it should be some sort of standardized lens
test subject. ;-) 

Thanks, Graham.

Jeffery

No wonder you had trouble choosing the PAW from such a strong set, spare
a thought for those of us who have trouble choosing for the opposite
reason. My picks for the best three would be 15, 16 and 18. All for the
same reasons,  impact of facial expression coupled with just the one
subject. The large area of out of focus red in 18 is a little
distracting so I would place that third. Second is 15 because of the
slightly looser crop, that leaves 16 as my favourite. Well you did ask
:-). Incidentally, I can see every stitch in 16's cap and its not a
Leica you say? Damn!
