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

Tells a story it does.Lens seems decent enough.

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

Your absolutely right. 

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

It certainly is a good, crisp photo, which means that lens is fine

Hello Paul,

Keep showing us shots from that new lens.  I am quite anxious to see
how well it performs wide open at different focal lengths.

Like the shot BTW!
