Despite my "extensive and exhaustive" analysis, I think that the proper cropping did wonders.
Did you see Lasse's re-work of the image on those WOW threads? Along with cleaning things up, he cropped out the right hand boy, and enlarged the image. It really worked well! I've long since deleted the post, but it should be in the archives somewhere.
I still feel bad that I went and did exactly what I've said many times that I hate. "You should have shot it from a different angle, etc, etc". I should practise what I preach! <vbg>
cheers, frank

Hi!
Frank's analysis is extensive and exhaustive... <grin>
There is one thing that I particularly would think needs fixing. You see, without the title or the story it is not that easy to see that the left-most boy actually shoots with bow and arrow. Which I humbly think wasn't your original intention...
Don't be discouraged. You did fine job with DOF control and I see little wrong with this picture except of the above.
I don't know how I would approach same shot. Perhaps, though risky it is, I would try to shoot my shot from behind the tree which is in front of the right-most boy... But then it is a bad idea to be in front of the line of fire...
Just my cents. As I said, don't be discouraged...
Boris
