Thanks a lot. The reason I shot this was to try and show a raw quality. I find the Summilux 50 asph great for this as it is very sharp. I don't really like it for portraits as it is very unflattering and needs softening in post unless I am trying for character shots where I need to be as true to life as possible. This one is different to all the soft air-brushed model images we see and this is what I wanted. A photograph of a real woman rather than the fantasy women the fashion magazines are so full of.
This emphasizes the roughness of the model's facial features, and gives a thoughtful viewpoint.
