Chuck Keeping Watch - a photo on Flickriver

            This was a super fast image I took of my cat Chuck as we was walking down a stone wall right at me. I barely had time to get my new (to me) Canon FD 50mm f1.4 SSC lens focused and the shot fired. It was the only got this one. Not perfectly framed, but I believe I nailed the focus on his eye and the lens did the rest of the heavy lifting with its beautiful rendering of colors and blur. I shot this at f1.8 and I did very little in post for this image. Other then adding the correct camera profile and a tiny bit of "Curves" adjustment to bring it back from the flat look of RAW. Maybe it could have been a tad bit more colorful. This is what the image looked like when I saw it through the lens.
Does this image have a bit of swirl to it? I'm not sure.

But the bigger question here is, "Why did I wait so long to get this lens!" This is one of the first images taken with this lens. And from what I'm seeing so far, I like it a lot!
