really like this one. the bluey greys in the background really sets it off nicely. the white shirt, though an obviously blown highlight, also works well and doesn't distract too greatly. the focus seems to be a mix of softness and noise reduction, which is a little odd, i think. but i like it in that you get a sense of motion, or the feeling that there is about to be motion, like the girls attention is very precisely focused on somthing she's about to grab. very nice. 8.
A lovely photograph, and a pretty subject. She is a tad underexposed for me, and the background is a bit too busy for a soft focus image. The soft focus portion looks to have been achieved with post work, as opposed to with your camera (forgive me if wrong). Otherwise, composition works well, and subject's expression is great.
