Remember, this is not about the Renaissance in Europe.  It is a thing unto itself.

very nice capture Ron!

Thank you Elsa.  The shot was taken with a 50mm f/1.4G @f/1.8 which is kind of unusual for this kind of subject matter.

I like it, but am I correct in stating her face isn't entirely sharp?

[Ron Scubadiver]

It looked sharp on my monitor, but not the super sharp you want in a nature shot.  More like a portrait.

Ron - sorry I am blond - why do you say that?

They are outdoors, most folks shoot this with a 70-200 f/2.8.  I was lucky because it was early.  They came close to the edge of the stage to give me a good shot.
