Quite nice, both bokeh & exposure. But next time try to siam the pole behind her.

Very sharp observation! ok here goes one with the pole in a less obvious perspective

strange that one post u said that the model must obey the "one-third rule", in another you suggest cropping a big chunk off the pic.

beats me..... so hear from u soon, yea?

Photography is a strange art. You need to learn the all the rules but sometimes you need to know to break them.

To threadstarter,
i like the overall pic,very pleasing.
Are you using the 50mm f1.8?

[Temujin]

Yup 50mm F/1.8

I think it helps that shes got a really nice smile and is naturally good at posing.

[G-man]

Temujin, I cropped it on your behalf, hope you do not mind.

it goes to show it's the man behind the camera,i can't get such nice pic from my 50mm.

[Temujin]

If this helps..

the original photo wasn't so punchy, I added a slight glow and sharpened it using picasa. Still I must say that the lens is one hell of a fantastic lens for 175 dollars.. lol..

Sorry, i think the photo has been destroyed... totally artifical. botek looks strange and the edges for her left hand is also totally not acceptable..

just my 2cent, hope that i have not offended you here as i don't know photoshop.

not too bad for a first post... but like what daoni said, the hand is not very good, because u probably selected the model and did the blur thingy. what u should have done is do a selection on the model, remove her, blur the whole image and replace the model onto your recently blurred background.

I find the lighting is alright and not destroyed as claim.

Then again... I dun really know... maybe it is.

[Temujin]

Interesting eh.. 1 pic so many interpretations.... and so many ways to make it look the way you want it ....

Heheh... no offence, but couldn't help it... the thought that came to my mind was: "too many cooks spoil the soup"...
