Nice shot but agree with others the bushy thing looks too blurry..... clone in some green shrub sort of transparent there and I think it will fix it.

DO you really want to see her foot? I shot through foreground bushes to give a peeping effect, blur is au natural but I appreciate your opinion

Bill, Lovely image... and model! But I do agree.. the blur does get in the way... it seriously catches the eye. Made me want to clean my monitor! lol!

I think you were wanting to clean your monitor for a TOTALLY different reason there Charlie.

I hate bush blur! J/K
I really don't give a hoot. I like the first one better because of that look in her eyes. Nice work.
I hope I can get this good.

I learn with every click, seriously. I shoot 2 or 3 times a week, something like 16K frames since January 1st. I watch videos, other photographer's work and I try to do something different each time. Keep shooting Rick50, it will come.

According to research I have seen on the topic, "most" American/European viewers dislike foreground bokeh in photographs; most Asian culture viewers find it ADDS a dimension, a sense of depth, to the scene. Over the years on various fora, I have repeatedly seen this negative response to out of focus foreground "anything" from North American viewers. It's an interesting cross-cultural difference. But then again, when European professional artists were painting commissioned artworks in the pre-Renaissance era, they were outlining all their figures with black charcoal outlines, and had no idea how to draw a vanishing point. Meanwhile, Japanese and Chinese landscape painters were creating lovely renderings of distant landscapes using aerial perspective as a strong depth clue; in a way, European artists were like kindergardeners drawing in crayon, while the artists from the Far East were masters of their craft, literally centuries ahead of those 'other folks'.

Very nice indeed.

Just a few points for C&C.
Her face looks different from the rest of her skin. I know that's not unusual (makeup & tanning etc.) , but when a model is showing so much skin, it tends to stand out.
Secondly, I'm not crazy about the crop. There seems to be too much space above her, and she takes up a small percentage of the overall image. I get that you want to show off the beautiful location, but I think the viewer would still get the point, but she could be made more prominent. If you are going to show the location (as a subject), then use a much wider view, making her an accessory to it.

Trever1t, you know that you have to start every new page of this thread with a new picture of her.

I am one of the few people I've run across who quite likes out of focus foreground elements, for exactly this reason. It gives depth. Also, it tends to place the viewer "in" the frame, creating a bit of a voyeuristic feel, in a photo. This can also be a powerful move.

However, in this one, I find the element too weak to accomplish either goal. It's not obvious what it is, and it's kind of subtle. You pick up on it, but you're not sure what it is, it's not obviously an OOF foreground thing, it could be some weird defect or processing error or something. So, I at any rate to NOT get the sense of depth, or the sense of being in-the-frame, from it.

Trev, you need to get her in the studio for a pinup shoot. She has the thickness and curves the demand pinup.
