One more from the cheap plastic lens file ;)

I really liked how the back lighting hit Michael's face. Comments and suggestions welcome and appreciated.

Excellent Steve !!! My only suggestion is to go with a lesser pixels on the accent line. I'm posting my version with a few changes incuding a 1 pixel stroke accent line.

It is very nice lens for portraits. go and buy one, it is one of the cheapest lens there in the market. (unless you got it already)

Thanks, Craig, but you absolutely KILLED most of my perfect five sided bokah, a unique attribute of the 50/1.8 ;)

I use the simple frame in PS, but your right in that a smaller inner bevel would be less distracting on this image.

Thank you. This lens is a must have if you don't want to spend the money for a 50/1.4 or 85/1.8.

The only frustrating thing about this lens is the sometimes inaccurate focus motor. When I get my 30D I'll also get the 1.4 and double my rebates because I'm starting to take pictures for others that I can't afford to have miss focus.

in good light this problem is not that much appears, but when you get more low light and shadows yes you are right, but i still i got great portraits from it in the past before i got 1.4 version and some L's
