I think this photo would be great without the selective softening. Such a cute capture!

I like the effect with this, is it lensbaby?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Cute baby - I might have cropped in a bit tighter on both sides and not have gone for the blur effect - I think the baby and the bucket would make the shot without it.

Now that is too cute! Nice shot!

the eyes are great but the short focus detracts

Lensbaby?? Cute shot, but I would prefer more of it to be in focus.

Bucket a bit to blurred but good idea.

Aptly titled.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Not sure about that expression - very nice use of shallow DOF - I normally don't like blurry foregrounds, but it works in this one.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 06:45:08 PM
I'm sure you're very fond of this moment captured in your picture, but IMHO the feet are really distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 05:21:47 PM
Cute picture, but I think the blur takes away from it. Could be much better with different post processing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 03:02:20 PM
cute shot but the added blur is overdone
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 01:00:07 PM
nice idea, but i would like to see the whole kid sharp.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 12:45:03 PM
Oh poor baby stuck in a bucket. (jk) Nice focus to draw out the subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 07:02:48 AM
the dof seems too shallow
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 05:56:12 AM

Reminds me of a couple of photos we shot of my twin grandkids when they were little. We have photos of "Baby in a box" and "Baby in a bag".

Wonderful portrait. A real gem!

Interesting effect but not my thing :(
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I'm not a fan of the selective blur you've used here, sorry. She/he is cute.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 03:49:32 PM
Great study in scale!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 02:32:15 PM
Lol! Very cute - love the title, too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 01:30:23 PM
This is so very delightful. I hope this has a place of honor in the family photo album, or better yet, framed and hung on the wall.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 12:08:02 PM
definitely a unique potrait, but it does not look too flaterring to the subject. Also crisper focus on the eyes would have been more effective.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 11:12:54 AM
I think I would prefer this photo without the softness.

Slightly different, quite amusing :)

Good lensbaby shot, adorable child!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:05:21 PM
I love the face and the scene... but there's just too much blur... not enough DOF to make this a high scorer, in my opinion.

Cute. Q little too much blure for my taste.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:58:30 PM
very cute. personally, i'd like it more if everything was in focus, but that's just personal preference
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:30:03 PM
Very endearing....
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:55:59 PM
Interesting processing on this. Direct lighting is a bit bland but it's still a decent portrait.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:30:47 AM
Hmm, the blur is not realy my taste. Looks like a snapshot to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:44:08 AM
Awww. hahah. A little to much of the out of focus parts but I love the story and expression.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is almost a 'lensbaby effect', although to be honest, to my eye it certainly looks like it was done in post processing.

A bit more care with the color in the skin tones would have helped it. It seems a bit strong in the blues/magenta. This might have been a result of the camera trying to correct for the strong color of the bucket in auto white balance.

I think it's cute and while I don't like the way the effects have been applied, I think the effects themselves are pretty fun, so I'm going to take the vote down and bring it back up again to 6. I wish there was a 6.5...

On second thoughts, nyeh, it's a happy challenge, so I'll give ya a free 'happy point'! :)

Great DOF. Clever shot. Well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:40:00 PM
I think there's just a bit too much soft focus going on. What a little cutie, though!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:20:33 PM
how cute, reminds me of when we used to bath in small metal portable tub thing at my grandmother's
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:04:37 PM
what a cutie, doesn't look entirely happy...your gaussian blur is just a tad to strong....
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:31:53 PM
Where is the lid?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:40:49 AM
I would have liked this better if the blur had been left alone instead of being obviously added later.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:30:59 AM
too blurry, try sharpening it
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:26:20 AM
very cool idea, the crop on the bottom is a little tight, great expression on the face.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:05:10 AM
What beautiful eyes
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:12:13 PM
The feet sticking out..too cute!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:21:30 PM
That's a fantastic title. I think it's a great moment that you captured, but I don't really find the image that captivating. I also wish you had given us a 720 version.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:40:19 PM
Nice job on the blur and your photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:47:03 AM
Not sure about the Shallow DOF, to be honest
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:02:26 AM
Oh that is so cute.
