This is a test shot I took to see how well my autofocus works vs.

manual focus...the aperture was f2.8 at 1/13 sec handheld so it is a

little soft...any comments or critiques are appreciated.

hmm maybe the focus is some mm. in front of her face. Look at the single hair on her left side of her forehead (as we see it). the DOF is a little bit unforgiving sometimes ;-)

worried about it depth of field, you can use a tripod and faster shutter speeds, but this is such a lovely portrait that, to me, I wouldn't even think of it. There is so much more to a good portrait than dof, and this has all of those qualities that make it a very memorable portrait. The tones, the intensity of her gaze, the freckles on her face and the softness to her hair make for a very powerful image. There are many razor sharp images on this site that don't merit a glance. I would argue that whatever softness may be in the image only enhances it further. Most excellent portrait - the kind I wish I had taken- thanks for sharing it-

The soft focus works beautifully here. I wouldn't change a thing. All the "Little Darling"s are the same girl...or two?...so I'm guessing they're your daughter(s) at different ages. It's a beautiful series in which I find about four favorites. This one gives a glimpse of what she'll look like and who she'll be grown up.
