It's a great shot BUT I would suggest getting rid of the hotspots on the lips. A little more PS. There's a great minitutorial in Scott Kelby's PS CS2 for digital photographers book about doing this using the clone tool,darken mode, 50% opacity. OK if you want to "browse" this in a bookshop its on page 302.

Dee, I was looking at that lens today trying to work out how to convince my man I need one......your images will do a fabulous job for me.

Very nice, lovely and sharp, fantastic work.

Both of those images are great ! The sharpness is fantastic and subject is very easy on the eye :lol: . I like the shot with the bubbles, I like the pose and expression of the model.

I've been thinking of getting something like this for some basic portait work and your images confirm this lens is a good one to start with..

I also just found out my local photoshop in Sterling has em for a measley $93 bucks (US), so I might have to get up there this weekend and pick one up.

Many thanks for sharing, new toy here we come !

Yeah, the 50/1.8 is definitely one of my faves. Small, light, sharp, and oh so deliciously cheap :)

Fantastic shots too! I need to work on my portrait work.. I can't get people to sit still for me unfortunately...
