C&C if you would like. Thanks for viewing.

I think the DoF is just a tad too shallow here; the right (image left) side of the subject's face is slightly soft, otherwise, a nice shot.

I'm not a good technical judge of portrait work but I know what I like and I like this What a face and those eyes! Nicely captured

Gorgeous eyes.. but a bit oversharpened.... DOF as John mentioned!

Are you talking about the one on camera left (his right)? I didn't sharpen the other one. I was trying to recover a little sharpness since my dof was too shallow. Guess I over did it if it was noticeable! Thanks.

Your assignment for next time: get a DoF app for your smartphone or print out a DoF chart for your camera and lens. :mrgreen:

For me personally, when showing a full face, I like to see detail in the face rather than a sharp eyelash and everything else blurry. Cute child and great eyes, though.

I have the Simple DoF app. Now I need to put it into practice! Thank you!
