- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
@limr, I was withholding replies to the C&Cs because I wanted to see if there'd be others. Your observation nailed it, though. What's in that first photo was pretty much what I was looking to get--which was that portion of the bunny's face lit and in focus, with the rest OOF and/or shadowed. And the background OOF.
I believe the reason the eye appears to be OOF is because the surface is dull. If you look closely (I'm looking at 160%, right now) you can see tiny threads, dust spots and surface contamination. Plus, after just cleaning them up a bit, (gets out his magnifying headset...) I'm 99-44/100% certain those are plastic, not glass, so they're not going to get super-shiny, like real eyes, or even glass ones, anyway.
