TFC, 'not the first time I've looked. Its quite rich in visuals and hooks on which to place subjective meaning. I would never expect a Holga to expose this well. 'Seems an excellent composition.
 
@HiHoSilver Part of the reason it looks so good is that this is with the Zenit-made glass lens. To be honest, that lens is one of the best lenses I've ever used in terms of contrast and flare resistance at least. I posted a shot a little while ago made with this where I had the sun in the frame, pointing basically directly into the lens, and yet there was no flare and no loss of contrast or sharpness, and I'm not even using a lens shade. I never had that with my Hasselblad, and my Rolleis still flare even with a lens hood on them. I can probably pull it off with my new Fuji lenses for my X-T1, but that's about it. I know I can provoke flare on my Canon 5D with L lenses if I try.
