Photo is dark. It looks like it was oversharpened.

This is truly a beautiful image. The DOF, focus and background are impeccable. I do have a problem with the "Soft Focus" aspect of it however, as this image from my perspective is as sharp as a tack.

I will give this a good score, but it would have done better had the focus been softer. Good luck in the challenge.

This appears to be pretty sharp for a soft focus challenge. ;-)

IMHO this isn't 'soft' at all, the lighting is a bit harsh on the 'fish and at the bottom of the frame seems to be some editing marks (MHO)
