This was shot at 1600. I was shooting another subject in the shade, and when I saw these characters, I shot without changing settings, as they only paused for a moment. Bad decision.
Their faces were in deep shadow, from the hats. I tried to lighten the image enough to show some of the facial expression, but I go a lot of noise. When I filtered out the noise, I got the soft focus on the faces, and on the legs of one boy whose legs were very pale and therefore blown out. Obviously, I messed this shot up badly, and posted it to see what constructive comments I might get to correct a mess like this. I appreciate your taking the time to look and comment.
