Hi Gordon, I really like your shot, one of my four 10s this week too. IMHO a little more DOF would be suitable and I would like to see the light-reflection in the center of both eyes. Doing so makes the shot a bit more lifely. Nevertheless congrats on a great shot!
Great use of selective focus! I think it's a nice idea and very funny because it reminds me how I sometimes walk through the world testing how a certain scene would look through the viewfinder ;-) -stephan
Really cute idea. I just don't like the colorization of the shot. The hands are out of focus and there is a part of the sleeve in the left hand lower corner.. The only thing in focus is the "Landscape portrait, but the other things are too distracting. PTL 4
I like the idea and the use of the hands to frame the eyes. The top hand though is a little too blurry for me. It's hard to even tell it's a hand, so I think a slightly larger depth of field would have helped.
I'm back to your shot to add a little comment. I really like this and gave it an 8 and at second looks still believe I'm on target. The soft blue tint here is so nice to my eye.
I also like the foreground out of focus. This is not popular with a lot of the voters here.......to me it's awesome. These are pretty eyes, interesting shot, clear, clean, in focus and on topic!! Good work. Justine
