Challenge: Shallow DOF II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro
Location: My House
Date: Dec 18, 2005
Aperture: f2.8
ISO: 200

Date Uploaded: Dec 19, 2005

Shot using fill flash (new 430ex speedlite from Santa) bounced off the high white ceiling.

I suppose the pedants wont think this is shallow DOF enough but I think it's one my best portraits to date of my favourite model. so pah to the pedant nit pickers!

sorry but i think this is a photoshop edit. first one see a funny filter effect on the hands and around the face and over the clothes and second, I dont think the hands would have been out of focus because its the same distance to the camera as the face. Sorry

although this is a lovely portrait capture, I do not feel this meets the shallow dof challenge. but thechnically it is well composed and well lit, next time there is a portrait challenge you might want to try this one again

Those eyebrows look like casualties of Neatimage. But the lighting and composition are great. And the model :-)

I can't find the area that is in focus, you also used too much noise reduction or neat image on this photo.
