I like the picture....kind of old photo journalist appeal to it. Reminds me of pics I used to see in the '60's and IMO...that's good.

Only suggestion I would make is it would of been better IMO, without the bush behind the bike....a bit distracting.

But on the other hand...I like the fact that the house is behind it...kind of a suburban 'rebel' impression.

The B+W was definitely the way to go.

How do you like your Leica Rangefinder and that fast F 1.4 35mm lens ?

I have a 60 year old Leica 11f with an even older 50mm Elmar F 3.5. Still works well. They are fine machines.

^^ Nikon....ewwwwwwwwwww

85L

I have an M Monochrom on order. I will eventually move completely over to Leica M. The glass is amazing. The 35 lux is sharper at the corners than the 35L is in the center.

Herers a few others I shot down in the Keys with the M9 and the 35lux. All I took down there with me. All I needed. See #902 & #904

I think you missed the point of this thread. The OP titled it, "Prime Lens Portraits - Post Your Best!!". Prime lens being the operative word .

At least one of them was the 85mm prime . Man that last photo is sharp!

I got to make a mess tonight at my friends' flat. We had loads of fun.
Shot with the 50mm 1.8.

Looks like you had great fun. It's a great image too.

Here are a few of mine from a recent shoot with a mate. All shot with Canon 50mm 1.8 on 550d.
