Best to view on a black background: http://gallery.mac.com/mxcantor#100133/cs_a&bgcolor=black
shutter 1/800
aperture f/3.0
focal 55mm
ISO 100
lens: canon 28-70 f/2.8 L
I took this of a friend in Bali with the sun almost directly behind her. in order to get any decent exposure on the subject, the background necessarily was completely overexposed, but I ended up really liking the effect of the overexposed beach/ocean with a tight depth of field. this give a blurry, barely visible surfer in the background to add some depth to the image.
perhaps I should have been more aggressive on cropping or the background is TOO overexposed. Am curious what the community thinks. I'm really proud of this one so am curious if its just me or if its actually a decent shot. please, be brutally honest.
thanks, max
