Another visit to our garden using a vintage lens (Canon FD 50mm f/1.4) on my Canon R5.
"Reaching" - 'Sambucus nigra', as my wife calls it, or Black Lace Elderberry for the rest of us.

Any interest in this group?
Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?

I thought I would try out my 50 year old lenses: Canon FD 50mm f/1.5 SSC and Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 on my Canon R5 with the use of the appropriate adapter.

Outside the tourist area photos.
These photos were taken just outside of a small town in central Portugal.

I would consider this more of a portrait rather than a headshot.
Personally I find seeing only the white of her left eye disturbing. What were you trying to communicate here?
I'll have to agree with you, Roger. It reminds me of Fetty Wap (who is missing an eye).
I agree this is more of a portrait than a head shot.
Even if it's more of a portrait, here are a few things you could do to improve it. First, it's underexposed. Pull her away from the background. This will throw the wall or door or whatever it is out of focus and bring the attention back to your beautiful subject. Be careful of your crop. It's SO close to a nice frame, but cutting into her chin kills it for me. Last, just bring her chin a few clicks back toward the lens and you would nail this. Hope this helps.
