[Leica] IMG: Soft Beauty

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Hi Tina,

Maybe I'm alone in this, but I like the sharper one best.? To me, the 
pose is better and the focus is sharp on her right eye.? At f/3.6, the 
lens is still soft enough for portrait work.

What I can't really understand is the lack of sharpness in her left 
eye.? That's an awfully shallow DoF.? It may be that the AF locked on 
the edge of the head scarf, leaving the left eye a little too far back 
for sharpness.

In any case, I like this shot.
