I have to admit: your photo is really marvelous.

Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, shot with the Zuiko 100/2.0. Note the
lovely out-of-focus effects both in the foreground (the ladies' hats which

noticeable falloff at the edges. This was spot-metered with my OM-4 (the
background was at least three stops brighter than the foreground), due to
the fact that we were under a dark canopy and I had no access to fill-flash.
