Lit Faerie

My new lens arrived yesterday. see Portraits It was here when I got home last night. Couldn't wait to start shooting and since it was supposed to be good in low light I thought I'd put it through it's paces. I like that the lens is fast enough (above) to freeze the candle flicker and that the color is true.

This shot is of a garden faerie that "lives" among the many plants in our house. I'm not a knick-knacky type person, but there's something about this particular piece that seems hopeful and innocent. So I thought I would share it with you.
