Jasper

Mum's Cocker Spaniel Jasper - he's in the habit of being put back on his lead at specific benches at the local park. Anyone would think that he also gets a treat...

The Sigma ART 35mm f/1.4 really is a lovely lens, albeit a bit heavy. I think this has impressive sharpness at such a wide aperture (f/1.6 in this case). There is a slight crop to remove some dead space on the left.

Good boy!
