Great shot.
The colours of the clothes, or lack therof:-), against the drab car work well.

Tells a story it does.gLens seems decent enough.

BTW this is were Celsius work better. It was only 38 here in To,g

 The mercury topped off in the high 
nineties (F of 
course) today, so two 
 ice creams are allowed. By the way this is NOT a street shot because it 
 was not taken with a focal length prescribed by the AOPSS (Arcane Order

 200mm, f6.7 @ 1/500, ISO 200, continuous autofocus.

It certainly is a good, crisp photo, which means that lens is fine  
performer. All kidding aside, it will do you well.

Your absolutely right. 

It's not a street shot, it's a pretty girl shot. g And a very nice
one at that.

The second thing I was drawn to, is that you managed to catch a single
drop of melted ice cream. For some weird reason I think that's pretty
neat.

Paul, you could make full size a crop of the drop of melted ice cream so 
we can check that

it really is one and the quality of the CA 50-200 lens @ 200mm f6.7

I don't much give a crap what it was shot with.  OTOH, I don't give a
crap if one wants to call it a street shot or not.  I like it. 
Maybe I'm a pig (well, I guess there's not much doubt about that,

Keep showing us shots from that new lens.  I am quite anxious to see
