I hate to say this, because I know your portrait style and I like the soft focus effect, but it almost seems like you missed focus on this guy. His shirt pocket and his collar is where I think the ideal focus would be. But hey, it's all soft, so maybe it doesn't matter.

Walter23, it's about planet, magnetic impulse...Magical stuff. It doesn't really matter when it works...
Great portrait Jim.

I actually think that having the face slightly out of focus works very well on this portrait. I like it.

In-camera glowing effect(?) in purpose or not doesn't matter.

Thinking about this picture and the next one right after it which I'll go and post in a minute, the wind had kicked up and we waited perhaps 3 minutes for enough of a lull to trip that shutter. At some point with the depth of field of an 18" f4 lens and all the other factors like 1/5 sec exposures, is the subject in the same place as he was 3 minutes ago etc. etc., you pull this film out of the soup and you're just beyond tickled that you got something usable. I like it just how it is.
