Well deserved reputation for this lens. Nice one

very nice (but due to softening nothing can be said about lens performance)

I think you went too far with processing. Perhaps this amount of PP would work with B&W, but in color it looks unnatural.

I also like the photo very much except for the skin too levigated.

3 other variants in small size #1 same process than on first one, #2 effect is lighter, #3 no effect all. #3 shows portrait captured in lower light environment where is skin tone is hard, but have to use this light to allow her to open her eyes.


#1

#2

#3

#2 is clearly the best IMHO.

Agree in small size , #2 looks natural and still much nicer than just captured.

+1, but your "model" wife looks very attractive irrespective of special effects or not. Wink

Was this a Wide open shot Attila? If it is then it is a stunning lens!

No , I rare shoot portraits wide open, I won't see left eye sharp and right eye unsharp effect. With wide open have to be very careful and avoid most of time to use it. Lens is sharp wide open just like best ones. To use lenses wide open , most popular mistake.

very beautiful!
focusing and aperture chosen are perfect, and though first I thought too soft in the end the dreamy expression of your lovely comes across best with my preferred version #1
