Awesome! The DOF is great, but how could you get wide open in bright light? Filter?

Fantastic shot, really one of the best I've seen posted here. Everything about it is done perfectly. Print trade?

Neat shot and fun DOF though I must say I wish at the same time that I could see her expression more clearly.

LOVE THIS!

i just realized this was in the critique gallery ...

the only thing i would do is not print it with the rebate.
the poles are so light in the image the dark borders really
pull one's eyes away from the image to the edges ..

I agree with john. The impact of the pole is greatly diminished by the black edges of the rebate. Otherwise I say it is near perfect!

A great story telling image. Wonderfully done.

Ah thanks so much for the input! I have just signed up for the blind print exchange, but would love to do a trade with this one for ya! This is just the neg scan ... Will for sure be leaving off the rebate on the print.

Thought - will doing an 8x10 or 11x14 crop be acceptable? Will you miss the corners here of the square neg? I don't have square frames and have been asked to print this for display! What do you think?

Oh, and Rich - no filter here. If I remember correctly, this was wide open on the 50mm (f/4) at 1/250th ... I pulled the processing to maintain highlights. The 50 allows for pretty close focusing, and this might have been at minimum focus distance - which would allow for shallow depth of field.
