Incredible colour and some good detail on the eyes.

Shame the DOF wasn't deep enough to get the nose and eyes in focus.

I'm relatively new in DSLR photography so if you don't mind...what's the meaning when you say "reverse" as in 50mm reverse?

It's when you mount the lens onto the camera backwards.

Here's some background to how it works...

It works best with old manual lenses (such as the 50mm) as they have a manual aperture ring.
