Congratulations on the image David. I am blown away by the timing of the moment you captured, but I'm equally stunned by the incredible range of values you captured. I am referring to the openness of your shadows along with clean whites in the banner in a scene that was obviously very brightly lit (Fusion powered Flash?). As an un-initiated hope to soon use leica glass person - would this contrast controlling goodness be a typical attribute in general or peculiar to certain designs or generations of lens? If you care to share the info - which lens did you create this image with and upon which camera? Sincerely Richard W.
