Boy on rocks

[Civchic]

I've developed a serious love for old manual focus lenses - this shot was taken on a hike two weeks ago with my newest purchase - a Pentax Super Takumar 135mm f/3.5. I absolutely LOVE this lens. The boy is my kiddo and generally lovely model, of course.

Nice shot, imo, but a bit over-exposed and under-edited
I would darken the periphery so it doesn't pull the eye and darken the rocks to give them some solidity.

You're right on the exposure - I do tend to err on the side of too bright rather than too dark, thanks. I kinda like the crop you've done here, as well, although I'm still partial to the wider view. Makes him feel more independent, I guess.

Nice image, 'though to be honest, I'm a little disapointed as I was expecting some sort of new cocktail....

Yes there a lot of old school manual focus lenses for Pentax and some good ones and there cheap.You can also get a Pentax TC teleconverter AF that can make it possible to get autofocus on manual focus lenses.magic. Nice shot,cute kid.

This might also be good in black and white...

I bought a Owen 135mm 2.8 a while back, and I love it! Plus it only cost me 29 bucks after the new adapter plate!!!

Great nice sharp photo!
