    Ken - this works well, good detail and techs with a creamy bokeh.

    TFS,

    Ken-agree With Rachel,nice one here.But you have again a slight color cast in places where it should be more or less neutral.Have a look at my RP.WDYT?

    Lovely portrait, Ken. Smooth BG makes it pop. Pretty good DOF given the aperture used, though it looks as though the tip of the nose might be a bit more OOF than the eyes...
    Wanted to mention the blueish cast but I see Andreas posted a repost before I finished typing my comment.

    Lovely clean BG and the IQ is some of the best I have seen from you. I do see quite a bit of blue especially in the white. ALso feel like it could do with a 3-4 degree CW rotation. I like the colors in Andreas repost.

    Thanks everybody, I do see a slight blue cast not in TIFF only appears after conversion as far as I can see, it was an extremely dark "day".
    As fir the rotation I am not sure why this could be necessary unless the OOF slope in the BG is causing an optical illusion?
