It's little out of focus - i decide to make so, anyway opla!!!

I like this, Yegor -- I really like that the background is fuzzy, and there's enough sharpness about the lady that she really stands out from the surroundings. I can feel her moving slowly through the scene.

"I can feel her moving slowly through the scene" -and i remember well the Marathon,that i've done 2 make this shot))))) she moved very quickly and vigorously

This shot is beautiful! May I know how you made her so sharp and dark while everything else seems to be so dull? ;]

I do like this Yegor. The subject matter is priceless. The soft focus really works for me and her dark coat sets her apart from the surroundings. What I do like is the line of the fence she is following is broken before it hits the left edge (potentially taking the viewer out of the image) by the wire fence. Your vision is blocked (I call this a visual ‘full stop’) so you start exploring the background with another path leading you back into the image BUT you eye keeps bouncing back to the main subject, being the strongest and sharpest part of the image. Wonderful construction of the image.

This photo has that "transcendence". It's beyond a photo - it's another world. Lovely!

It's my little secret! ))) it not so easy,but when u do the shot,4 example with focus length 18, u must quickly change it to 20...just a little bit,however.....so u out of focus and your subject seems more dull! Another way - programm,but i don't like to transform with any programm.....maybe brightness and sharpness ONLY

Yegor

Are you meaning that you rotated the focal length from 18mm to 20mm during the shot, or that you moved the focusing ring to create the slight blur?

[Skitalez]

why there was such precise blur - do not know (((((I only have added sharpnesses and has a little blacked out. To strengthen effect!
U see near a little....dark mist?I have increased contrast. Rare case of application of the editor. I do not made it perfect, it's a style of a shot,but why so dull - have no idea! I thing, becouse i've change the focal length.....Or!!!from 19 to 18. I don't remember well now
and i have done focus on the wall,and then has displaced on the woman
and yes-i was rotated the focal length

[Skitalez]

its like this foto

It's very strange shot! I don't know what is it....shadow,light or something else.....the photo with oldnesssss -i have done it so, and i'm glad! I like this shot even if can't explain it well

[Skitalez]
