    Ghost in the souq

    All the shops had shut and everyone had gone home. Then this old guy appeared:

    Very authoritative, confident and mild mannered looking ghost. Looks like he escaped from either the Harry Potter or The Lord of the Ring set.

    His face looks like it is carved from wood. I understand why you gave it this title, but I don't think he is very ghost-like. He would have made a good subject for a street portrait.

    The richness of the tones. The way light is reflected on the tiles, the fabrics and the shutters. Gorgeous.

    Thanks Donald. The other thing I love about the 2/35 Distagon is the out of focus areas. For a relatively wide lens it gives some of the most '3D' rendering of the Zeiss range. I'm targeting a 2/25 Distagon next I think. Or maybe the awesome 2/135 - mmmmm
