This one I don´t like as much but take in mind that I have never ever ever liked softfocus shots, I simply do not understand what people like about that technique so I am quite biased :)
There is something very unnatural about the blur around the jogger. I always try to do it in camera. However, twice I have done it in photoshop, or rather boosted up the out of focus look, here in dpchallenge. My triptych entry and my 80´s entry. I find that "lens blur" looks better than the usual gaussian blur. Don´t have photoshop here at work but if I remember correctly it´s somewhere in the filters section.
Also the red channel of the running suit looks blown out, has no detail. I like the composition though and feel of this image but because of the technical issues I honestly think I would have voted it a 4 if it had been in a challenge. |
