Seeking C&C.

I took this shot yesterday while on a drive. I kind of like the dreamy quality I have been getting while shooting at 1.8. Does the background "bokeh" take away from the subject? Should I have bumped it to 2.8 or so to get more of the subject in focus? Is the processing weird? Any advice is appreciated :thumbup:

Thanks!

Almost forgot, here is a more subtle take.

I think it is realy nice but wonder if it would be better cropped to a more vertical layout: less dead space on both sides?

it seems like you DID take it at f/2.8... :O but nice shot anyway. i like the darker one but i generally like darker photos. i've been meaning to take a photo of these things... with the bokeh background haha, beat me to it i agree on the vertical layout. :]

I really like it, I think the background looks good as well.

Edit: Exif says it was taken at f/2.8

Wow, I must have mixed up my photos and did not realize I shot this at 2.8 :blushing: All the rest of the photos that day were shot at 1.8. Thanks for the feedback :thumbup:

Bump

Just the cropping suggestion? There must be more problems with the photo. Someone tear me apart
