| For whatever it's worth, I liked this one. I really liked the mood of it. In my view it deserved a higher score and more than one comment during voting. While the spatula offers some good processing advice that could have improved the image overall -- I just wanted to tell you that it connected with me as is. |

| The background is unnaturally blurred and your masking needs to be more nuanced and complete. Subjects at a given distance must be rendered appropriately or your mask is readily apparent. Also, the gaussian blur applied to the background gives the appearance of very poor bokeh. Not positive on the order of your steps, but if you were to mask and blur the background initially, before the sharpness and contrast tweaks that your did on the rest of your subject matter, you likely would've created a more nuanced background with less harshness, but this could also be due to shooting with a slower lens. |
