Just received the camera back and find a difficult challenge to portray, having withdrawal symptoms had a go with what I had.

I'm thinking that this should have been either completely in soft focus or completely in sharp relief. Right now, with the combo of the two, it seems unbalanced and oof. i.e. my eyes go right to the eyebrows of the mask on the right, then I see the scarf of the woman. The faces, as a whole, are the last thing I see.
I don't know...it's hard for me to vote on something like this because it lacks a real subject...which I realize one could argue with me on that. Maybe it just likes real interest that would normally draw me into a picture.
