Ahh, a true ISO photo. Straightforward and touching with a great deal of nerve. Unsurpassed composition as always and a fine dynamic range. I really like close up portraits, and I don't mean superduper 600mm telephoto inzoomed 100 meters away shots - who's always feels so unpersonal. Rather a wide or normal angle lens (or maybe, maybe equivalent of 85mm) and the photographer standing close to the person they are about to portrait, like in this shot. (To many photographers seems afraid of people in front of the camera?) Think you convinced me on the excellens of the 50 f1.4 as a portrait lens as well... /Jonas

amm your statement below highlights why I differentiate between snapshots & photographs. Snapshots are normally boring, but photographs are always interesting to some degree no matter the subject. Iso takes photographs not snapshots.

I don't normally look at kid photos, nor flowers, and defiantly not pets! however, this one is special, very special.

Beautiful shot, a small distraction is the white triangle bottom left, & of course the white surround. Good shots like yours need no tarting up:-)
