I agree with Doug. I would add that it otherwise does look like a posed portrait, almost too perfect and maybe a little static. By the way, not to pick on Oly but a worthwhile comment on AF, I think; have you seen the print ad for the E-3 that is a close up of a painted face? The focus misses the eyes and has the painted skin sharp? Maybe a deliberate tactic? Bothers the heck out of me though.

Well done considering the circumstances.
