I'm with you David. I like yesterday's picture just that bit more! Today's one isn't too bad either ;-)

IMO, the depth of field is too distracting. My eye can't find anything to rest on.

I agree with Libby. Maybe the dof is a bit too shallow, at least the closer part of the sunglass should be sharp.

Very cool, but I'd prefer just a little more DOF too - trouble is when you have fast glass you just wanna play!

that 1.4 is amazing david! I love this!!

best one out of the series so far IMO.

looks amazing on white background too

I like the DOF, got my fingers itching to get one of those 1.4 lenses...

I too prefer this one. It doesn't matter why it's subjective. ;-)

I like it. Would be a great DKNY magazine ad.

wht kinda lighting did u use here..its absolutely fantastic

I like the DOF here, however to some people might be too blurred. As abstract shot it could do well.

I like this, but I'm not sure there is enough of a focal point here to work exceptionally well. I like narrow DOF images so that is not what is bothering me - I think the sunglasses play too prominent a role here. I liked yesterdays, except for the eye treatment.

very cool shot.

Now that's some shallow DOF. I really like this shot. It's funny how there's a lot of fuzzy out of focus detail that captures a lot of your attention.
Well captured in your typical amazing style.

Mh, can't say which one is better, cause these are two complete different pictures.
But I like this one very much too.
Great tones!

I definitely prefer the one from yesterday, it has a glow to it that is lacking in this shot. Good job anyway.

Yesterdays was more classic. This for me lacks depth of field but typically looks good in the thumbnail.

You know, I do think the DOF is too shallow, and while her hair is (slightly) in focus it's not clear enough to be a good focal point. I actually like the tiny thumbnail at the top of this comments box more than the large photo itself. A slightly deeper DOF may have made a difference.

I agree with eyevision, who agrees with Libby. I likke yesterday's picture but prefer today's.

Very beautyful composition... great render and treatment !

Very interesting use of selective focus. I like how it breaks conventional rules of photography (i.e. focus on the eyes or suffer a terrible death). This image proves to me that some rules should be broken.

Like this a lot.

Thanks all. As for the DoF: I can see why some of you think it should be deeper, but I don't think it would have worked quite so well that way.

Definetly in your camp Dave!
Libby is in the wrong corner this time;-)

I agree with Libby. I think this is an awesome shot. I really like the DOF and the b/w. Very nicely done.

this si beautiful ... the focus is special great one man really stunning

Art-tastic.

I like this one, it's amazing shot.

I'll have to side with Libby on this one... though I like the series you did with Fiona, I really like this totally different take on a portrait. Probably not what the tourism board is looking for, granted, but really appealing to (my) eye.
