C&C Encouraged -- Help me get better!

Natural light - Canon 5D Mark II paired with the 50mm f/1.4 shot at f/2.2 - iso 50

I would have used the 135 for this.

Forgive me for asking this, I'm still trying to learn. I have the Canon 50 1.4 and the Canon 135L. Why would you have chosen to use the 135L for this as opposed to the 50 1.4?

Randy

Subject isolation and L quality.

Thanks for your responses so far... I am well aware that the 135L would have been better suited but I happened to throw on the 50 1.4 to see what it could do. I actually hate the 50 1.4 so I don't use it at all. Outside of that, is there anything I could improve on to make this a "wow" image?

Mike, the image you posted with the 50 1.4 still looks good to me on my laptop.

I think i would have had her turn a little more to her right. It would avoided looking at her arm pit and I think would have presented a little nicer line.

Thanks for your input! It will help me the next time we are out!

Why do you hate the 50 1.4?

I'm not a fan on my Full Frame and I don't think my copy is very sharp.

Use ISO 100 instead. 50 is only over exposed 100 by 1 stop.
