This is the fifth of my 'Mood' images. Fear not, I'll soon be back to normal…, I think?
Relax a bit and turn on some soft romantic music.
This is the first time I deliberately softened a sharp image to enhance a sense of quiet in the mood of the scene.

Re: Silently Slipping Into the Night
Another wonderful example that the need for sharpness is often overly exagerrated.

Super! That is the emotion I was trying to evoke Bobo!

Ah yes, Mike! Sharpness and blur are like tools. You can drive and remove screws with a hammer, but using the proper tool at the proper time works so much better! Originally Posted by Mike Buckley

Re: Silently Slipping Into the Night
You did it again Frank, viewing your post just keeps getting better and better. Hmmmm...intentional softening, needs to remember that.

Re: Silently Slipping Into the Night
LOL! Thank you Joe. I think that this is the only time that I've done this with the subject so it is not a common practice for me. The slightly soft focus just seemed to fit the circumstances of this image better. Originally Posted by jprzybyla
