The colours of the bottle, the shoes and the skirt fascinated me here. The ordinary becomes extraordinary: normally these trains are banal commuter ferries.

Technical notes

This is shot on Canon 40mm 2.8 lens at aperture 5 on full frame. 40mm seems an almost perfect every day focal length. The 40mm 2.8 STM is also sharp, edge to edge in a way that no other lens I own is (apart perhaps a Leica Elmarit 90mm). The rich colours (hardly enhanced, just a bit of vignetting to kill off unneeded corner detail and focus the eyes on the subject. There is no real sharpening either. An incredible lens.

    That would be a perfect advertisement for ÖBB :)

  2. Thanks for your kind words Ira. Looking back on this photo now, it has a very modern Cinderella feel.

    Hi Toemailer,

    Yes, feel free to post this on Toemail. You might want to take a look at changing your theme or some of your plugins as your site’s javascript froze modern Chromium (v38) on a quad processor MacBook Pro. Less is more.
