This a great candid... her pose is alluring and her smile is beautiful. It's obvious that she's genuinely enjoying herself.

The bokeh is great and the shot is crisp and clear. I think I might have cropped out the second girl in the picture. I think you could have got away with cropping just at the end of the guitar.... but her presence isn't completely overpowering, so all is not lost.

Well done.

Proper challenge-the-perception sort of macro - I actually had the fork the other way up the first time I looked at the thumbnail...

Love the tones & bokeh in this image. Also, you can see the joy in her expression. Nice work!

Nah, disagree with nova- think if you take the shadows away you'll lose some of the integrity of the image, like it the way it is.

Comment by nova:
I think I might like this better if the background shadows were eliminated, especially on that last tine. Just an idea. That's an amazingly shallow dof for 7.1 but I've never tried to shoot true 1:1 macros so take my comment with a grain of salt :D

PAW - I like the very shallow DOF but still very detailed on the 2nd tine. A little blown out in the bottom parts of the tines but otherwise good lighting.

Interesting. From the thumbnail I could clearly see that this was a fork, but in the full version there is so more contrast, lighting and texture to take in, and it's harder to see the fork itself.

Good stuff. Interesting that the ends of the tines are round from this distance.
