Guest Guest Posted July 21, 2011 Jim,Nope, I'm not getting into it. It just looks like everything under her mouth is out of focus or that you had a real problem with your depth of field.I assume you just wanted comments on the out of focus look and not a general critique.Mark Link to comment
jim_gardner4 9 Posted July 21, 2011 Mark. Yes thats right. Its a look I really like in some photographs but I cant say why. I used the same technique in the shot of the cases I have. Polly Chandler uses it to magical effect in a great many of her photographs. Link to comment

jim_gardner4 9 Posted March 28, 2012 Hans-Peter, thanks for your comments, they are helpfull. To answer all your questions would take up a lot of space here but I can say briefly how I rate photos. If I think a photo is average I will rate it 4. I try not to let my own taste get in the way of rating. As an example, if I was rating a colour shot of a football match (which I dont get at all) the fact it was something I didnt particularly like shouldnt mean I wouldnt rate it high. On the other hand, a black and white nude may still be rated low if, for example, a flash lead was visible in the shot. That is obviously the short answer.If I had to rate the above photo, I think I would give it a 4 or possibly 5. Link to comment
