Wonderful picture! One of the best on this site! It's a pity that the small size, want to see in full size to fully enjoy this masterpiece!

Incredible macro work. Not too much. Just the right amount of magnification with subtle lighting and background !

Not sure if it's the lens or the subject that makes this shot work so well. Either way, the lighting is perfect and this lens is on my wish list.

Thank you my friends. The G2 and 45mm Planar combo is so versatile and brilliant for portraits especially travel ones. It focusses close so negates the need for a portrait lens at times. And Mr Sharif was my mother's childhood friend.

This girl gets her initial weapons training at shooting range near Kyiv. She accompanied one of the recruits to Ukrainian antiterroristic military forces. 4 months ago Ukrainian president was occused in total corruption and ran to Russia.\n\n\n Let's not get into this political nonsense. I just asked about the girl. Is this supposed to represent a Zeiss photograph? or a political statement? If political statements are allowed here can I include some anti-EU stuff please? or can I post some Pro-Russian photographs?

Just beautiful! But I suppose that f=5.6 or f=8 would be more appropriate for that kind of portrait :)

I like the Girl version either. IMHO It looks like a shooting range during a training.
