EXCELLENT shot and mood to this stunning portrait. Your lighting is beautiful and the contrast of color and and B&W background adds strong appeal to this seemingly timeless image.

I know exactly what you mean when you say "please let this be in focus!" I have the same camera and although it has the capabilities to shoot fantastic shots, it will disappoint you so many times by not focusing right on. By the way...great shot!

Well gang, I've decided to put this one back up, along with the new version even though it isn't copywrited.
It is KAPU to cockroach this image!
I'd be very interested to hear comments on the new one vs this one.
