Frank, I think this shot is excellent. I like the woman's posture and expression, and the way her hand under her chin is echoed by the fingers-under-the-chin of the OOF man in the foreground. The sharpness is remarkable for that focal length without shake reduction, and the grain is less than one would have with pushed Tri-X or P3200.
