Comment by tomlewis1980:
This seems to me to be more of a shallow depth of field than soft focus. Also the highlights on the sax are blown out.

You are a very sick person, and I like that.

This is... just... absolutely wrong on so many levels, but very funny. I do wish the flatware was more obvious against the background -- or that may just be lighting issues -- as you really want to call some attention to it given the joke. And while I know the mantra is "centered is bad", in this case, the off-centered-ness does not strike me as the best choice.

Very, very wrong. In that good way.

i'm not sure i detect the soft focus being used as much as i do the shallow depth of field. perhaps a broader DOF would have made any soft focus that's present a bit more noticeable.

Ah yes. What better to respresent the warmth of home than a fire? Nice work. It would be nice to see the top of the flames, but I like this image and the idea behind it.

Nicely done, it really does show warmth, which not all fire photos strangely manage.

Nice flame shot, but needs to be a bit sharper.

Really good set up except the knife and fork the wrong war around. More detail in the cut onion would have been ideal.
