Nice crisp processing, any shots with the other members more in focus?

[Bootsy]

i'm afraid not. I'd just been shoot wide open and before i could change my setting. i noticed this shot as i was walking by. just before the two men started talking to each other and the moment was gone.

You did well to spotted and take the image. Nice ana clear.

[Bootsy]

its one of those shots that i'd love to go back to. as you posted a bit more depth would of been nice.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with the others.

Out of focus foregrounds rarely work and around 1/3 of the bottom of this image is out of focus foreground. The human visual system has no issues accepting out of focus parts of the image behind the subject, but not in front of it.

The second issue is your subject. He makes up a very small part of the total image and this is not all that effective either.

Sorry, but this image is not working particularly well for me.

I have to agree with Manfred. However, I do think that it is an image well worth remembering.

Your Remembrance Day is akin to our Veteran's Day, which is also memorialized in the USA on November 11th each year and which was once called Armistice Day. World War One ended on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918...

Here is a shot I did of one of our disabled heroes and his beautiful wife at a Veteran's Day memorial in my City...



I have watched several U.K. and Australian Remembrance Day videos on YouTube and would like to visit one in person...
