As I said before, the skill of this photo is in the gamut of interpretations that could be read into it; I would prefer not to have known the true context. The blonde's concentrated expression and gentle touch with her hand implies an intimacy which could be read as adoration whilst the other girl by contrast is indifferent. Are they lovers? sisters? Or am I alone in this?

Sorry Robl. I cropped the image initially to hide the obvious nature of her profession and felt there was a mystic in her expression and gaze. John you are very observant in the pp of the image, I smoothed out the blond ladies skin and left the other , emphasizing what her profession is.

I really have missed this forum, predominantly on the varied input, looking forward to more submissions and constructive dialogue

Sad to say I don't get it, are we photographers or philosophers ?

Is this a challenging photo or is it a statement of something I don't see as relevant; , don't get it sorry.

Does this stack up as a photographic " wow moment"

It is an "Iphone moment " not an awsome image taken by an awesome photographer on awsome equipment in challenging conditions.

What are we thinking ?

Not sure how to interpret I Phone moment. differential focus on the 2 faces, diffused background, head tilt and moment of concentration on the main subject ts face
I cannot recollect the words Wow, Awsome merely opinions from fellow members, mostly constructive

Yes, the dark marks on the fingers do catch the attention a bit. Also, there seems to be a different amount of processing on the skin tones of the two models.

Having said that, it's a nice idea and it could be superb with just a few touches here and there.

The lady is a street makeup artist,

Is the trend now moving away from taking a nice image to owning a nice camera ?

Already committed to a K3mk2, and yes the D800E is FF, that is the second FF camera and quite honestly I will not miss the advantages over crop sensor. I will be following all those who have invested in the K1, some apparently appear to be trying to raise funds by selling kit
