I gave this shot a six because of what other commenters mentioned - the "depth of focus vs soft focus" issue. However, when I came across this during voting my first thought was "oh my goodness, how GORGEOUS".
My second thought was "here is a shot that someone could make money on". As you said about the backdrop, I probably have indeed seen it before. :-) I think you did a great job enhancing the beauty of the backdrop and making a great photo out of it!
I'm glad you said what you did in the photographer's comments. The lighting is, I feel, very good, and you definitely conveyed a message. Congrats on this beautiful shot. |

| Shallow depth of field but dead on focus thus not "soft". Nice Shot though - 5 |

| Soft focus does not mean out of focus. Very dark photo. |

| mmm. somehow apt and relevant given the whole pluto shenanigans. to me, this isn't really an example of soft focus, rather a use of depth of field. there's nothing really soft about the middle groud, and the foreground is just not in focus. i also find this surprisingly static and not that involving, which is odd given the subject matter. white balance might be part of the problem; if you're using elements, go to colour variations and increase the blue and lighten it a little bit; the change i feel is quite dramatic. anyway, i scored this 5. |

| IMHO this is more the use of depth of field than soft focus but it is an interesting subject |
