Nice subject and composition, slightly less wonderful than it might be for 
reasons I'm sworn not to mention.

Being a poor judge of character, in lenses, at least, I just don't see what's 
special that the lens has done for this 
subject. I'll put it down to the scan and web display, so I won't feel too bad.

Is that guy carrying a film camera!? Something odd going on around his head and

Again, my selective vision sees nothing special contributed by the lens. It 
wows you, so ignore the barbarian!

Sheesh*, what a barbarian I must be. I want to see all the color. :-)
