There is a humility to her, almost a reverence.

I like this picture, where is it?  Is there any inscription under it? 

Looking at it again I really do like the portrayal.

It's part of a sculpture group in a fountain at Iowa State University.   Normally, I don't like high-key images, but this one works for me.

Colours harmonise well, the word that comes immediately to mind is good boke, the lovely soft out of focus background that compliments the sharpness of the statue.

She looks like a Dutch girl.  Is she?

It is, if I remember correctly, an Indian woman giving thanks for the harvest.

Well, maybe not as good as a lens from E. Leitz, but Pentax does have it's qualities.
I recently picked up an old, single-coated 1.4 Takumar, and the bokeh from that one is something like that of my 35mm Summaron.
