I was trying out my new SMC Pentax-DA 35mm f2.4 lens earlier, actually doing some test shots in preparation for a location shoot with Rebecca on Sunday. Here she's twiddling her toes...

Nice pic, but looks a bit dark on my monitors. No detail in the trousers ( ooer!)

I would imagine on flat screens you can see the detail though

Background is distracting with all the ??? on the backdrop,especially the the thread hanging on her left sleeve.Over exposed on top right.From the angle the photo was taken the feet and hands seem large.A little bit of photoshop would clean it up. Walter.

As a demonstration of the capabilities of the new DA35 lens this photo shows what a capable lens it is.
On my monitor there is detail in the dark areas.
As a picture for competition entry, then it needs alterations that have already been suggested. However, as John is a PAGB judge, he already knows that.
Friendly Regards
Graham

Yes, we were just playing to see how Rebecca photographed. Nothing out of the session for competitions, but we'll see if this trial shoot has helped when we get to the main course on Sunday.

The debris is the remains of a feather boa, but that's another story.
Best regards, John
