It's not laughing matter shooting at F/1.4. Believe me. This shot to me was very challenging and I still find it to be quite a wierd photo.

A lot of areas are soft due to the huge lens opening and with the close up it gets crazier with hands, hair, body, background coming in and out of focus. Some people may not like the focus. I find it a learning excercise. The grain is so pretty.

Dedicated to =Aj07 who named me 2nd best photographer in the online UAE dA community (yeah right). She said she liked my B/W and here's one just for you. Hope you enjoy it

Lens: Nikon 50mm f/1.4 @ 1.4

Editing:
A LOT of Dodge and Burning
Levels Adjustment
