reasons why i hate/love my 50mm lens. when the focus is only slightly off the picture usually fails. when the focus is perfect the results are great. there's no inbetween. i produce far more fails than hits, but the shots like this make up for the ones that don't work. sorry, i don't usually write about how much i like one of my own photos. i never really know how to react when i receive compliments, and instinctively i usually try and find some failing, error or excuse in an unnecessary attempt to balance it out. i know, pretty dumb reaction. well if anyone says that they like this shot i'll have no qualms in agreeing and saying, i know - it's awesome! don't worry, i'm not changing, i'll go back to feigning modesty tomorrow.
