So do I.

Now, what lens did you use ? The exif says : 1/450, f8 and 27mm. If it was 
the 18-55mm I would probably have tried to shoot at the longer end at full 
aperture for I find the background distracting. Of course, if you had a fix 
FL my remark applies less, except for a much higher speed for full aperture 
:-)

Very graphic in any case. Thanks.
