[Leica] Don's PAW Back to basics, lighting the tree

[philippe.orlent at pandora.be (Philippe Orlent)]

Although the shot seems a bit 'washed down' I do prefer 'Mary and the  
lights' out of the 3 you showed us. You caught an intimate moment  
with a good combination of blur and focus + some stopping ower due to  
the 'what does she have under her arm?' item.
Thanks for showing, and a great ending of this year to you and yours,  
too,
Philippe
