The out of focus person on the left is rather harshly rendered,  The 
subject is sharp, but the highlights are a bit hot and the shadows lacking 
some detail.  Most of the more modern Leica telephotos have a much smoother 
look to them than this image. I may be wrong and  I am willing to eat crow.

Some of the most recent Leica telephotos exhibit the more harsh out of 
focus subjects as seen in this photo, but they still hold the highlights 
and shadows well.

We will have to see what James tells us he used.  As I said in my first 
post, it is a well done photo regardless.
