The soft lens explains the look. Thanks.

Hi!
Thanks for sharing these. It's quite interesting to see how your work
has evolved. They're all very good, but your later work is much more
sophisticated to my eye. Your most favored shot is indeed among my
top three from this selection, although I might award first place
honors to the heavily filtered shot of the young woman at
http://www.photoline.ru/photo/1136390927.
Paul, there is not filtration at all, none whatsoever.
It is merely F 85/2.8 soft at f/4 or thereabouts. The only filter
applied is b/w conversion (usual channel mixer + selective color) and
a curve that deepens the shades.
But I do appreciate your comment anyway ;-).
I am getting more and more grown up... I wouldn't dare use term
"older", you know...
