Ruby at f2, 69 year old vintage Leica lens

This is Ruby, my best mate, shot wide open at f2, with a 69 years old vintage lens. A Leica summicron f2 50mm lens attached to my Sony A6000

Low sunlight is streaming in from the left hand side of the frame, from our lounge window.

She looks very elegant and beautiful

Edited in Darktable and GIMP from a RAW file

I think you have to agree the lens did a good job
She has such natural dignity.

She looks very happy to be having her picture taken. Not like our little Grandson who hides his face when I get the camera or the phone out!
