Hi Gree,
Interesting image, What I think happened here was the right side of the image accounted for your 2,3,4 scores and the left side got you the higher 5,6,7 scores. What caused this i believe are two things, First your bokeh took control over the entire image & secondly the bokeh had the effect of creating two separate images. The right side of the image seems slightly out of focus and a bit blown-out causing a lose of detail in the flower and water dropletts. On the left side however you have a nice clean, sharp image nice detail in the pedals & water dropletts. The leaf just in front of the flower is nice and soft and it\'s placement compliments the image. I would have either cropped or repositioned and used just the upper left side of the image only. This would have given you a nice line coming down the right side of the image and making that second leaf your bokeh. I took the liberty of trying it and turned out to be a really nice image that I would have scored a 7 or maybe 8. |
