Well, in the print, her face ~is~ the sharpest part of the image, but I must admit to using a bit of selective Unsharp Mask for the purposes of the web. <g> > > The second shot uses DOF beautifully. Thanks. I was using slowish (for me) ISO200 film, and was shooting using available light at f2.8 (wide open) 1/30th, so I didn't really have much choice with either the motion blur or the dof. I was trying to use both to my advantage in that situation, though, and I knew that her head was rather motionless as she was looking toward me as she pirouetted (she'd just noticed that I was in the room). I'm glad you liked them. > > Did you ask her to wear a red shirt? No, it was dumb luck, but in retrospect, it sure makes it easier to pick her out, eh? <g> Thanks again for your thoughts, Rick. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
