A photo of someone from behind doesn't usually work, unless it shows a real reason to be shooting from that angle. I suppose the fact that there are no masses listening is part of the...

My eyes!  The goggles do nothing!

This is fantastic, a beautifully seen film-noir moment.  Breathtaking. The woman with the cigarette and the deputy sheriff look like they just walked our of a Drew Friedman comic.  Great work.

Obvious attempt to break the used lens and third-party lens markets. Oh well, it's not like I needed more reasons not to buy Nikon.

Moderator here:  I greatly prefer that people use the "complain" button if they think a post breaks the rules, rather than make posts about  it. That said, I understand that the question "are you...
