Good point about the reflection, Slobodan - thanks for the helpful
comment. I'm not "still getting the hang of (my) Roll-eye," I'm barely
starting to get the hang of it - whole different way of seeing, working,
shooting. :-)

Thanks again -

B. D.

It dawned on me that's what it was after seeing other postings. It seems
that I'm not getting all the postings, and sometimes they come a half
day, or even a day later. As far as that shot of yours is concerned,  it
is a tad rough. Even in a grab shot, one should always have their
compositional presence of mind. It would of had greater visual stability
if the whole of the reflection was included. Otherwise, with a square,
the use of negative space such as more of the space over the head being
included would have greater effect on concentrating the viewer to your
subject. It seems that your still getting the hang of your Roll-eye. But
all good things come in due course. 
Here are two samples taken with a white-face 2.8F. The same sitter
position, but two different camera positions. The frontal is my least
favorite, as it was only the vehicle shot for a very close in portrait,
which they didn't use. Go figure what's in an editor's mind.
