Couldn't help it - had a little play just to soften the sharpness of the lens.
Sorry, but hope you like

Posted: Sat Sep 03, 2005 11:45 pmThanx mate, yep there's not a day that goes by where I don't pinch myself...she is the most beautiful girl in many ways, she's caring, kind, loving, smart, witty...i'm the luckiest guy in the world...and no, she's not sitting next to me right now 
I like what you've done to the image but I think it's a bit TOO soft now.

I'm supposed to be working at the moment, but this is much more fun

French and italian for beautiful
as for improvements
I would like to have seen more pronounced circular bokeh
Try taking a picture at the top terrace at Bel Mondo or the Glenmore bars at The Rocks, sydney
The terrace level at the Glenmore has an amazing cityscape and harbour view with the added benefit of 1 hallogen spotlight embeded into the ground so you get beautiful contrast of facial features.
The' Bel Mondo' bar has one of the the best coloured varied subtle mood lighting systems in sydney
with a 17-55DX you are one of the luckiest men in the world

I find the picture a bit oversaturated. I do not think you could get a bad shot of Bel anyway...
Cheers,
Gerard

Posted: Sun Sep 04, 2005 10:43 amLovely lady, Geoff. 
I agree with Gerard, saturation could be dropped down a few notches, along with a little less contrast. Sharpness is fine, I think.

It is a ve. I would have also played a little more with the position of lovely Bel. Perspective is attractive, perhaps brought her more into the frame. The truncated ear and left side bothers me a little and distracts, for me anyway. I also would have played with the exposure comp and dialled in varying minus amounts to just make the fill a little more natural and let the natural beauty come on through. It is a very sharp lens and I'm envious. Great effort though!
