Shallow depth of field but dead on focus thus not "soft". Nice Shot though - 5

Not sure if there was any need for the Victorian gothic histrionics in the processing. I say this because the line between beach and sky is a major part of this picture and you've ruined it with the sharpening etc. It's a great composition and it is suitably moody, but the sky is messed up and so is the top part of the sands. you should either have toned down the processing or shot it so it would stand up to the kind of processing you wanted to do. I have nothing against this kind of enhancement, it's just that in this case I feel it's ruined what could have been a great shot.

Just my opinion, and quite possibly not worth listening to, but it's only fair for me to tell you why you dropped a few points for me. Oh and if you didn't mess around with it in the processing, then I apologise, but it still looks messed up.

Soft focus does not mean out of focus.

Really nice shot, but I find the blue to be a bit distracting... my eye focuses on it more than on the clear areas. Great set up though :o)

Ah Hah! Great thought! The shoe pattern even looks like the pattern on the ones I was wearing. Get a storm blow through tho and all those nice prints in the sand are either blown away by the wind or swept away by monsoon rains. - Steve

On of the nicest and moust interesting flower photos. Like the fragility of small blossoms. Nice harmony of focus and blurred parts.

looks like midnight sepia processing. Or gaussian blur. Except for the slight funky at the top right from the processing, I like this image. I think the footprints make the image (many people don't consider adding a 'human' element). Well taken.
