Bruce n Philly Offline • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Mantis Bug... and soft focus Actually, I am not sure you call this soft focus. What do you pros call this "look". I took this last fall and was reprocessing some pics in LR4 (was using LR3), and tried reprocessing this one. I realized that this pic looked better soft. LR4 allowed me to really get this sharp using contrast and all the sliders that I don't fully understand, but I didn't like it as much as this softer one. I think the noise reduction really helped (or hurt it?). C&C appreciated. Composition? Sharp/Soft? Contrast? Is a Mantis a "bug"? My Blog on Bugs Mar 30, 2012 at 08:52 PM

I'd like to see it sharp and with a much tighter crop. 2 works much better for me ~ Ron Mar 31, 2012 at 12:02 AM
