This is the picture that gained me my first Editor's Award on EPZ, plus two Reader Awards and an award for 30+ votes. It seems to have hit the spot....shot with the 18-135mm lens.

Not surprised it got an award or two. It really is a very pleasant picture of the young lady.
Best wishes

No wonder it hit the spot John, it's great! May I suggest that it's a combination of the superb focus on the eye, the lovely control of light and shadow and the sheer attractiveness of the model that make this one special.
