it was shot handheld at f1.4 so dof is very thin indeed, with silver reflector to the left side.

think its more the jpeg conversion, me wobbling and dof than any post processing. only pp was to convert to bw using topaz labs and cloned out a slight scratch on the bridge of his nose

i like the shallow dof and the muted tones, love playing with my sigma 50mm 1.4 :), maybe being critical the butterfly is a bit to bright

ohh seductive, grungy, sexy, temptress and love the tattoos, suicide girl worthy , love the eye make up false eyelashes and lip liner but maybe a darker lip liner would have continued the theme a little more. being nitty picky for comment not score arms arent centred, small bit of poky dot pant on right waist is little distracting and maybe had liked a little more light on her left eye to see the beauty spots. good effort though 8

ooh wheres this? doesnt appear to be much of an challenge though does it, picture wise focus appears to be on the foreground? fence itself is blurred and dust spots etc in the sky should have been touched up
