Now those are some very convincing samples - I was actually wondering on the way people look in close quarters with the 35mm and it seems like it can be pretty great.

Many thanks.  For people shots, 35mm is fine if you don't get too close - three-quarter length portraits, or pics which include some of the surroundings, but not so much head-and-shoulders.  In picture no. 4 (the girl drawing) her nose is slightly too large - an unflattering perspective effect starting to appear from being just a little too close (four or five feet I think).  For the couple (pic. 1) on the other hand the 35mm length is perfect.

Best wishes
