Admitted to be this is an accidental shot of many. Quite bit of encapsulation to get pop for abstract image. What can you see?

It's wide open, but because of distance to the subject it has quite good DOF for capturing a whole scene. Bit of dodge at area around and interior of cart.

I like the rendering of this lens, I think it's very natural.
Confession: a bit of excessive crop not only to make it square but adjust composition.

When I look through the view finder with this lens, the first WOW factor is how things getting closer to me. It's very small lens and i was just not prepared for the power of magnification . It's a pocket-able 200mm (equiv. FOV) and not bad rendering of OOF area either. I think I got a great deal of this lens. It fits nicely in between 50mm and 2000mm I already have.

WB is shade.
Took it in -1EV at the time to preserve highlight but ended up bring it back about 1EV.
Cropped to 2:3 format and some contrast adjustment done.
It's just about going down and completely behind the mountain range. I was trying to capture clean edge of sun as well as intense colour around it.

One of my test shot for camera/lens with quick handheld snap. I've sold the lens since in favour of Olympus version of 25mm.
I quite like how this image came up in high contract B&W image as I revisited.
