Emotion1*

I don't «feel» like giving these emotions names:
You will «sense» them...

Thanks a lot, Stéphane, for commenting. While wondering what's so wrong with the «cut head», I do agree completely with the bright background lights being distracting; but the postprocessing I tried to apply (with «rubber-stamp» and «healing-brush») was just not subtle enough, so I preferred to leave it alone. — And, yes, this lens is wonderful: ideal for portraits and for flash-less indoor work, let alone for flash-less indoor portraits; and, in addition, it's quite a bargain (compared to others)! — db.

From your series, this one is my favorite. I don’t know if the main character is drunk but she looks like someone who’s saying something enormous. The second woman seems totally surprised or completely fascinated by what the first woman is saying.

• I like B&W and this one is a superb B&W capture. The composition is interesting with the focus set only on the speaker but the bright lights in background are very distracting. One minor thing is cut head but I understand why.

BTW, this lens seems incredible!
