Hi everyone

Just got a new lens to try portraits with. Here is my grandson Jacob age 9, minimal posing and no attention to background. I was looking to bring the subject out from the background. I would appreciate your comments.

Cheers, Alex

It's a decent shot, but you do need to pay attention to the background - particularly things that will grow out of people head and other distractions.

Thanks for the comments. I really like the new lens but I can see that I will need to pay more attention to composing the shots. I'm learning a lot just from looking at posts here. Cheers, Alex
