One Too Many...

Certainly tells a story as the challenge description asked, I like the softness to the glass but feel the olives look just a little too much OOF (MHO)

A lovely scene and I like the placement of the person in the frame. To me this has good use of DOF but it isnt my interpretation of soft focus (MHO)

I liked the crumpled background but feel there are too many sunflowers going in different directions and the image doesn't appear to be soft to me (MHO)

This is a nice subject that works well with soft focus, slight distractions are the bright clouds in the B/G, other than that I like this :o)

Nice composition and I like the softness around the childs face, I do find the B/G a little too bright which is slightly off putting (MHO)

I think the light has helped give this image a soft feel and i like the little girls expression!

I like the composition and you have grasped the idea of the challenge well leading the viewer to think about the pictures message. I think the softness is nice especially in the reflection but I am distracted by the bottom and left handside of the frame as they appear to be a different colour to the rest of the image (MHO)

I like the conversion and the moment you have captured is nice, for me however this image looks a little OOF rather than soft and the bright reflection of light on the childs head is a litte distracting (MHO)

A nice peaceful scene, good movement in the water, I would like to have seen a little more softness and the person on the Left handside is a little distracting but overall a nice image :o)
