Yes, Nikki. That was one of the things I liked in the image. That is due to the large aperture used as well as the fact that I shot at about a foot distance.
Good work in symmetry. Could have been bettered by shooting at a narrower aperture to get more in clearer focus to emphasize the symmetry. But it doesn't matter much.
Thanks for your comments. The shoot was not planned. I just noticed the warm glow of the room when my daughter was reading in bed. The photo turned out to be good, particularly in monochrome.
Congratulations on winning the competition. It's an amazing image. The symmetry and the lines that run to the virtual horizon create a really special effect.
I bought the G Sonnar 90/2.8 lens and was waiting to buy a camera to mount it!! I finally settled on the GF1 and had to wait for 2 long months for my visit to Boston. This was one of the first shots captured on a muggy evening in Doha of my daughter. The temperature was a sweltering 40C at 5PM!! That is summer in the Qatar.
The 2x crop factor makes this lens a telephoto. The quality is simply out of the world. I then found a Planar 45/2 online and promptly bought it. It is now always on my GF1.
