Last shot of a morning portrait setting. Got up before the sun and took shots just as the sun was rising. This is the last shot as the sun was quite high by this time, you can see the blown out highlight in the back. Most of the shots were shot from the other side but we turned around to head in and I took a few more. In fact, the background became so beautiful and saturated I had to desaturate it to bring out my model. Sigma 105 prime, f2.8. Everyone loves this photo and says it looks like a magazine photo.

just had a thought. I wonder if you were to put a couple layers of sharpening on this quite strongly, but use the layers just to push the contrast at the edges of things... the result would be that you would get a bit more of a 'soft focus' look (kind of looking like a layer of haze over an image that is sharp...)...
just an idea. set the layer mode of one to darken and the other to lighten and play with radius and opacity on each layer... see what comes of it.
Cute expression here.
You probably already have been getting comments about watching out for cutting off the feet and the main focal point been a bit out of focus.
Have you considered making this a black & white? Often slighty soft images benefit from getting a higher contrast lack & white conversion. Just a thought anyway.
very cute, right on the border between a great portrait and a good snapshot. can't really tell if the soft focus was intentional, or just the way it turned out.
a bit out of focus and her shoes are clipped at the bottom of the frame, but this is such a beautiful child in a great outfit that it still works pretty well.
Great pose, really excellent.
Lovely bokeh help to give the innocent child a nice soft environment, it just seems a little out of focus or soft, whether that's intentional or not, it's not to my taste.
