I really like this shot, but just not for this challenge. Though the background is in soft focus(more like completely out of focus) the subject is not and I don't see how this is specific to the challenge at hand. This looks great for basic editing. Great job with the lighting. Keep posting :)

i really like this shot, great lighting & editing. It does not seem to be a soft focus however, the face is very sharp 7

Very nice image, but does not (to my eye) appear to meet the challenge of a soft focus image (the subject is tack sharp).
05/19/2008 03:17:47 AM
Great background (and the foreground is nice too)
05/18/2008 03:36:14 PM
great image overall but not quite right for the soft focus challenge since it looks pretty sharp to me
05/17/2008 11:53:33 AM
I love the shot. Great lighting and limited color pallette. It doesn't seem like soft focus to me but I still love it.
05/16/2008 03:30:33 PM
This sucks cause it is not soft at all yet it is clearly a great picture. It is so obvious to me that you have the ability to dial in the exact amount of softness... makes me wonder if I know what the heck I am doing.

Apocalyptic. Intense.
05/16/2008 12:38:17 AM
your subject is much too sharp for soft focus.
05/16/2008 12:21:52 AM
not really soft, but very nice scene and great background
05/15/2008 09:08:02 PM
nice sharp shot, great composition, I really like the light from the left. I'm going to pass on scoring this because I love it, but I don't get the soft focus. Wonderful image!
05/15/2008 06:02:03 PM
For me, that's a perfect picture...
05/15/2008 03:22:22 PM
I like this image and the stark quality of the light. How did you light this?
Oh, but the focus looks pretty sharp for this challenge...
05/15/2008 11:34:48 AM
This is a really good picture but there is no soft focus on the image. Or at least I can't see it. Looks very sharp.
05/15/2008 10:51:56 AM
very very good shot that sadly doesn't meet the challenge at all
05/14/2008 10:28:48 PM
I like the tones here, but not soft enough......
05/14/2008 05:59:50 PM
I like this picture but not really feeling the "soft focus" that others in this challenge have.
05/14/2008 04:55:58 PM
Really incredible shot, nice work with lighting and everything, my only problem is the lack of "soft focus", there is great bokeh, but the main subject is completely in focus.
05/14/2008 02:54:55 PM
Ya know, I am sorry, but this is way too sharp for this challenge.

This image is, however, a great image, even though you have tried to shoehorn it in.

Color is very nice and not distracting, light excellent, dof excellent, comp. excellent, texture excellent, highlight and shadow is again excellent.

Because this image is too sharp, it is not anymore than a midrange contender imo.

good luck.
05/14/2008 01:39:31 PM
cool shot but where's the soft focus?
05/14/2008 01:30:28 PM
Smoking kills... but this is one of the few shots, that actually tell a story... like the rough style 9
05/14/2008 01:14:42 PM
Really wonderful picture but soft focus???
05/14/2008 12:19:06 PM
dark and moody, background is softm not sure about foreground
05/14/2008 09:00:50 AM
whats soft here?
05/14/2008 07:58:39 AM
I really like the tones and look of this image and would possibly give it a 9, but this is a soft focus challenge and apart from the background which is supposed to be oof, then I don't get it. The lighting is superb...not sure what to do here...6
05/14/2008 01:17:37 AM
What a great shot! But it's just not soft at all!! I dont want to vote you down, so i wont vote at all! I am faving it though!
05/14/2008 12:14:36 AM
