Edit.
I thought it would be interesting to post the same image with lens corrections (distortion and vignetting removed):

The vignetting at f/1.4 is very noticeable (the distortion is rather minimal, so you won’t see much of a difference in that respect); whether to correct the vignetting or not is of course a matter of preference.

Beautiful, Peter. We always wish for such nice light for our subjects but you know how to find it. A fine-looking fellow.
Thanks Henry. It was an impromptu portrait, taken while he was trying to shoot hoops in the backyard… with his uninjured arm.
Where are these corrections being done? In the LR profiles or in camera w/ jpeg’s? Do you think that anything else is being done in addition to vignette and distortion removal? It almost looks to me like there is a tiny loss of what I’d call micro contrast in the corrected version or is that all psychological as a result of the eye being pulled to the relatively brighter face due to darkened corners?
All things considered, I kind of like the uncorrected version. With the corrected, I’d probably put about half the natural vignette back in in post. Cool.
Good question Greg. The corrections are in LR.
Here is a version in between the two above:
LOVE the first…with vignetting & distortion.
Thanks John. It’s interesting how we appreciate the flaws. The other lens that endears itself even more in this respect is the 58/1.4G.
You can not ruin a good photo! His eyes rule, with or without corrections! For me marginal changes!
