Another shot from new 50mm 1.4

Just resized. No PP.
C&C welcomed.
Edits are as well.

Great pic - how close were you to the subject?

I think 3 or 4 ft. Not too far. I was sitting in my chair and he was standing up.

Adjusted the wb and a little usm.

I was gonna guess that you were about 4 feet given the amount of the frame is filled up and how much of your subject is in it. I love the 50mm for informal portraits on my 20D, don't you? Great shot btw.. and the edit is really good.

Thanks for the comments.
Sony23-Great edit.

I like it. It has a nice feel to it. That lens is great fun to use. I read an interesting article, I just cant remember where, from a portrait photog about using the nifty fifty. He basicly said he never uses anyting more because he liked getting close to his subjects.
One thing I noticed is it lookes like the subjects eye closest to the camera is slightly out of focus. USM helped, might I suggest fine tuning the focus manually to ensure you get the closest eye in focus next time.
Have fun with that lens.

What aperture were you using? Flash of any sort?

mtnbiker- Thanks for the tip. I am going to try to fine tune(manual focus) next time
scraggles-1.4 I thought it was 1.6 or 1.8.
