50 Feb 26 Comment Hello Paul. Did you have in mind a high-key final image when you took the photo? The original appears to be exposed to capture the background detail. If you have a similar image exposed for the people(subject(s)) in the foreground, try converting that image to high-key B&W for comparison. The tonal range of the original image make it difficult to capture all the detail with a single exposure. Feb 16th
50 Feb 26 Comment Hello Cindy. Great image. Was the lens a 70 to 300 on a full frame body(nosey camera nerd)? Looks like you were at widest aperture, and max shutter speed to get the sharpest image with the greatest subject isolation. Did you darken, or blur the flower in the background? Feb 9th
50 Feb 26 Comment Hello Ger. Beautiful soft portrait. Did you edit to soften the skin, or did the building do the softening? Feb 9th

50 Feb 26 Comment Hello Lorna, this is a wonderful find, and I note that this was a hand held image. Regarding the crop, I see two ways to use a "Baroque Diagonal" to lead to the point of interest: 1) use the more strongly defined lines on the top left, 2) use the single thread on the middle right.
What do you think? Over all, another great image.

50 Feb 26 Comment Hello James; excellent image quality, and B&W conversion. I'm a Nikon shooter, and like you I sometime use vintage lenses; in my case they are Nikkor AI, and AI-S lenses. Your Super Takumar is living up to its reputation; you may like "Simon's Utak" on YouTube, and Flickr.
I Assume you are using Focus Peaking. With a 35mm and wider you could likely open up to f/4 and still get the depth of field you were seeking here. This lens should be great for street photography. All the best!
