I have to say, I hate going to bed on a full belly. Gives me indigestion! What a start contrast to your following picture!
caught a great smile there!
This is about as good as it gets for me.....

great capture, looks like she is mechanically going through the motions of taking on sustenance
Interested to see you used the Samyang 35mm f2.8 on the A7M2. I was looking at it the 1.4 for street work, but already have the 28mm f/2. Today, I opted in the end for the Sony 85mm F/1.8 on my A7M2. Whole new ball game! But I like the look of your 35mm and what it gets.
the person moving into the frame close to you really adds to this shot. Gives it a dynamic feel between ennui and rush.
Thanks, Peter. The 35mm is a nifty little lens, but ironically, I suspect I would have been at least as happy with the 28mm f/2 ... Anyway, the 35mm is a reliable little lens - a little cheap in feel, but it certainly delivers the goods, and of course, it's tiny. Its colour signature is a quite cool though, especially in the shadows - its stable mate, the 24mm f/2.8, does a better job at providing true colours. However, even if the Samyangs may not be the absolute best lenses on the market, I find them quite enjoyable in use, and they do give me a bit more flexibility than the (sole) 28mm f/2 would; that said, I'd not replace the latter with either of them. The 35mm f/1.4 is a different story - it's quite big, and reviews are decidedly mixed (maybe due to considerable sample variation?). The 35mm f/2.8 is a great lens for its size and price, at any rate (the 24mm, again, gets mixed reviews - mine's fine by my own standards).Interested to see you used the Samyang 35mm f2.8 on the A7M2.

Like this. Normally seeing the backs of people does nothing for me; unless in context. This though makes it look like they are walking into the excitement of a Friday or Saturday night. Even from behind, you can sense the anticipation.

F/1.1? Jeez.......beer did that? Gonna get me some so I can shoot sharp at F/1.8 with my Parkinsons!!!Thank you very much Peter,
It was on a Thursday night, but it was about 2am and in town. I'm quite pleased with my technique because I shot at 50mm @ f1.1 on a FF Leica M9 at 1/45 whilst walking... oh and I was a bit drunk... beer it's the new IBIS
