w00t!!! My first top ten finish!
*skylen does his happy dance*
I was really happy with my photo and I'm so honored to get such a good score (for me). But I wondered if the soft focus was the best choice for this shot.
Here's the challenge entry (soft focus), and the alternate version (no soft focus):
I like the soft focus shot more so than the sharp one, but I might like a little bit sharper than it currently is. Most of the detail is lost to my viewing, and a little bit more detail, but soft detail, would be good.
I would have to say you made the right decision! The sharp shot looks over sharpened. Maybe it is, maybe it is just the reflections on the metal parts, hard to tell, but woulda got shot down by the DPC voting crowd! Kudos onna nice shot.
