Very very nice! No complaints here.

I would have preferred her face to have been in focus. It looks too soft as all the focus seems to be on the hand.

Oh, and tell her you're supposed to take the outside off before you play conkers with those things

Love the DOF here! Great expression on her face. I'd agree with wanting her to be more sharply in forcus, especially with this great DOF, but it still works. Nice job.

I think it's nice now as it is. Brings up the thing she is holding.

What is it by the way?

 

[bogleric]

Very nice composition. I too would have prefered the DOF to be adjusted to her face was in more focus. Not perfect focus, but just a little sharper.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Niki, I'm sorry, but I cannot help you on this . She plucked it from a tree nearby.

 

[Niki]

danalec99: That said enough, thx.

It's a horse chestnut....hence my referance to conkers......do you guys do that in the US?:?

 

[Trig]

I used to love playing conkers!
The pic is nice, what's the subject of the photo, your wife or the seed?

 

[jadin]

By conkers do you mean throwing spiky chestnuts at your siblings? Then by all means!

I love this image. Did you photoshop the backgound, blur as such. You have a beautiful wife by the way, She looks South African.

Thanks for the kind words.
I did not photoshop the background. Its just the 50mm f1.4 lens..my favorite lens.
She is from India.

It's not in good focus but that looks like a seed ball from a sweetgum tree. Liquidambar Styrucifula if I remember my dendrology. Probably didn't spell it right but I think that's close.

Yes, throwing those at friends and siblings is required activity at a certain age.

Ha... Ya' know they call him "drdan" for a reason...

Great photo. I like it the way it is. Very interesting.
