 First day with my new 50mm f/1.4 lens (after I got it repaired... after I dropped it when opening the Christmas present!). I like the DOF you can get with it.

Good catch here, with a wonderful expression captured. Well balanced tonal range and sharp where it's needed. Nicely done. Good luck in the challenge.
