eye balls! I have been shooting portraits lately. I figure since the SD9 is famous and to some infamous of the yellow skin tone, why not take advantage of such characteristic?

... and though those assumptions about yellow skintones were based on user-error from day one, you used that flaw well!

..it was shot with SD9, EX24-70,@60mm, F4, 1/125, Handheld. Natural light. Postproduction was done in SPP3 and of course Photoshop.

One thing about the lens, I found that sharpness at 50mm and above was just unbeatable!!

Malay man, living in a hut, somewhere near a village along the road side. He told me that he is 85 years young. He had 7 children, all grown up apparently and tons of grandchildren. I asked, why didn't move out to stay with them, he said: "There is something about this hut I can't live without, just like your passion about photography..."

Truly a great capture.

I must have missed your posts earlier in this forum, but your gallery was really great. You just placed yourself high on my list of top photographers. Very inspirational.
