very creative!!! this is a perfect use of shallow DOF.

Yes, good concept. Good composition. The DOF does need to be deeper. She doesn't need to be in focus, but here she is too far out. What makes it worse is the lighting or exposure. Her shirt and the flowers are both blown out.

I agree. The idea is really great, but when first looking at the pictures I didn't really get it either. I couldn't tell if she was upset or excited. And it does look very much like a magazine add for the test.

I think just a little bit more depth of field would make it better.

I find the title tells to much of the story. The photo should do that.

Really like your idea here, and I can tell that you wanted the background a little blurry to make the foreground the main focus, but the background is so blurry it's difficult to even make out what's back there. (One person? Two? A person holding her foot up in the air?) Still like the concept a lot though.

At my age, I find just the "trying" to be very successful. lol
Great idea.

Congratulations - it must be a great moment, but the picture doesn't really show it. The blurry background distracts rather than adding meaning.

I had this ideabut went a different way - Your composition would have beat me out anyway! Good job.

looks like an ad. a good ad!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like this, though I'd like to see the people a little better - I can't quite make out two people even!

nice idea...not sure if the box was good idea
congratulations

maybe better with a deeper DOF
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/24/2006 02:54:47 PM
a great idea but i would have gone for failure as it's difficult to make out that it's a couple in the background. you could have had a female your model with her head in her hands

very good work...I like this...perhaps a little less out of focus would have made more sense here...this would make a great ad for New Choice

I like the DOF idea. The couple needs to be a tad bit more in focus. 6
