Subject: Which picture is better?
While in Paris last weekend, my fiancé and I escaped the unseasonable heat
in Jardin Luxembourg, and I got a few shots
the weekend, and might pass
a few of them along for comments. I'll see if there is a better one I could
send to her bro.
Thanks to all,
Gerald

Hi Gerald ...
What do you mean by jarring bokeh? I see a lot of shots in print these
days that use that as an artistic technique. I'm wearing my thick skin, so
please critique away. :)
What I meant is that the out of focus areas are, to my eyes and
sensibilities, harsh, not smooth. I'd
I liked #1 and share many of the comments that the other viewers have
shared. The boken is a bit rough, perhaps because it is dark enough to be
noticable and also because it appears that you used a fairly small aperture
- a larger opening combined with faster shutter speed would have softened it
Gerald,
I took the liberty of manipulating the image using a photo editor. I
cropped the image, threw the background more out of focus, made the image
lighter, and took away some green. The image would probably benefit from
finer adjustments than the quick 1-2 punch I gave it but I think this

and soft, which would better compliment the portrait, IMO.
This may be an artifact of the 50/1.2 in the 2.0-2.8 range, which I have

I prefer picture 2. It is less symmetrical, and the reflective expression is
one I like, although the smile of #1 does work as well.

Hi,
I like the first one, your girlfriend as a much nicer expression on her
face.

Hi Gerald,
I prefer photo #1 over #2 due to its stronger color, her smile, the
background, and the at ease confidence of her pose.
Compared to #1, #2 looks slightly washed out, her pose is more
self-conscious and less confident, and the unfortunate alignment of her
eyes with the bluewhite
If you could remove the strand of hair running down her face, then #1,
otherwise #2.

Hi Gerald ...
Both pictures have merit, but both suffer from jarring bokeh and
harsh background colors. Compositionally, photo #2 works better for
me, although photo #1 captures a more vibrant spirit. However, the
odd item in the lower right hand corner is distracting, as is the
knee on the
