I know it was the stage lighting, but the picture is too purple for my
tastes, I would have adjusted the colour balance towards the warmer/
greener
side of things. In all other respects, a beautiful photograph.
But your "Bokeh Guitar" from last week is simply stunning, I
absolutely love
every aspect of that image, it has real soul. It really inspired my to
shoot only
my 50/1.4 for this past week, the roll is finished, will see if
anything worthwhile
printing this weekend emerges...
Image aside, I'm really glad you got and are enjoying the Panasonic L1!
