Very nice! The pose keeps the eye moving. I don't mind the icon, to me it's mostly invisible. (probably because to me it's balanced by the dark picture in the next room, assisted by her dark hair that's kind-of a connection between the two) I do wonder about the tight crop. It might have been better if there was a little more room right and top. [about equal to the amount of space between her elbow and the left of the picture] The subtle almost-smile is icing on the cake.

Try creating the shot you want with the Pen. If you succeed in that and you enjoy the process: switch. If not: don't. Whether switching is a good idea is 100% personal.

The short answer regarding AF: if you're not happy with a 60D and the camera is functioning correctly... 99 out of a 100 is a matter of shooting technique. Unless you're shooting F1 cars head on of course... A 6D2 would probably have an incremental increase in AF quality. If any. The series is not a professional sports camera and will never be. But since most of us aren't pro sports togs, that's not a problem. Maybe you could borrow or rent one? (or buy a second hand 5D2? or D6?)

Some considerations... Weight and size. (it adds up, especially if you have to carry on your back or along with other luggage.) Budget and price. (budget is obvious, high price might have you worry about your gear when travelling) Personal taste. (which focal lengths do you use most often at the moment? What is that multiplied by 1.6?) That said, as an add on to my previous advice (17-40&50&100), while I think the most versatile short tele is the 100L because of the macro ability, the speed and the IS, the 70-200/4L IS -which I also have- never disappoints. Every time I use that lens I have a veritable slew of keepers. And I mean that in the artistic sense, because the technical quality of both is great.

To confuse the issue: 17-40/4L, a 50 (your choice) and the 100/2.8L macro. I could shoot the rest of my life with just these three. Wide angle for when space is cramped and (city)scapes. 50 for low light, general purpose and "just bring one lens". 100 for details, portraits and short tele. You see this is a very personal question...

Thechnique, postprocessing and model / pose are good. To me the crop is slightly tight. Especially above the models head. Also the lines are tilted (because of the angle vs the stairs) that might be a problem for some. Try to shoot stairs like that head on or at a steeper angle. That way it doesn't look like a slight mistake. Hope this helps, Matthijs.
