I originally scored this very low beacuse I thought it was postprocessed too much. After the competition, I would like to understand the blur in the middle.
I've looked a few times and I still can't figure this out. Having two widely separated in focus spots in this narrow DOF shot is an interesting effect.
my favorite of the competition even though I'm only half way through...great lighting and low contrast. I don't think men will know what this is, however.
I don't know anything abuot chanel endings, but I do know a nice powder puff when I see one and this captures the Challenge beautifully. It is tough to do, but I wish focus has been sharp all the way through. Still, a good image.
Somehow your eye is drawn to the middle of the picture, but that area lacks detail to sustain you unlike the very sharp detail of the powder just to the right of centre.
