Lovely.. the unsharpness is important I think, and all-out "blur" is not necessarily the point. The softness, the colours, the girls, the outfits, are very reminiscent of an old Kodacolour print from four decades ago or so. This really brings back bittersweet memories of my childhood... quite, quite a nostalgic image for me. Thanks.
This is a heartwarming image that I can just sit here and smile and feel.
What works best for this IS the lack of technical perfection, which in turn, makes it perfect.
I don't care if it's too much blurry or not the moment I saw this
photo I love it. You are truly amazing and so talented photographer.
Your portraits are inspiration to me. Love your style, your PP,
every single photo is a story for itself. Also love that vintage
look, and border is excellent.
I think you're right - sharpless is a debatable term. :) This definitely isn't your typical hypersharp portrait where we can count the pores in their skin.
That lack of clarity lends this a vintage feel, like I'm looking at three girls who have grown up, married, had kids, watched those kids grow, etc.
I think about the mid 70's and the pictures my parents would take of me and my cousins...this reminds me of a family snapshot that captures real life. :)
I like that each one has a completely different expression yet they are all identical in other ways. Nice balance with them on the left and the tea products on the right.
They look like two identical, one fraternal, or are they identical triplets? This to me is a good example of soft - not blurry, but not sharp, as you say. And soft works a lot more than most people give it credit for. I like soft - and it suits this well.
