I'm not sure if it is your PP technique or camera technique but the face and especially the eyes are way OOF, just like the other series. The focus seems to be somewhere in the red scarf cross hatch material. Have you tested your lens?

Hate to be the heavy, but you should only post one new thread a day.
You could add this photo to your previous thread, but should wait to post this as a new thread.

Glad to see you are posting, like what you are going for, but agree this is also OOF.

best steve

Look like your hands were moved in such shallow dof other than that it is very nice portrait.

The red net is perfectly in focus, as are the eyes. It's the rags closer to the camera that are soft focus.

You are kidding right? The eyes are not in focus, look at the upper and lower eyelashes and the iris, burry. Maybe M-E-P doesn't resharpen after downsizing before posting, but it looks to me like they aren't sharp to start with.

I didn't re sharpen. I wish I had that kind of time.. maybe soon with the holidays coming.
maybe I'll try that. I don't sell web images so it was never a big deal for me maybe I'll pay more attention to that.
and it looks a little blurry on my cheaper LCD here.

Thanks again for your feedback guys! That is why I post here.

JB: do you have a quick web work-flow you'd like to share?

All The Best,
Larry

No, I'm not kidding. Eyes are sharp on my laptop yet. I dunno why the difference in our views.

Thanx guys, I was starting to think I need glasses.
I'm sure this is some explanation. Just not sure what it is...

I should also add that while I think this is a lovely shot, the composition is a whole bunch top heavy. Derek

Maybe it has something to do with our servers. We all have different ones?

My workflow for web images is take what you would do for print in the native resolution. Then size it down and add a smart sharpen in PS. I have set up an action to do all of this for me, resize, smart sharpen, save as JPEG in sRGB, quality 80.

I don't know how sharp you like to make your native files and what size you like to post at but a few quick steps and you'll be done. Start with 100%, 1.0 pixels and More Accurate checked. YMMV

Eyes look sharp to me, great shot! The angle of the head to the shoulder looks a little painful though.

Maybe because there isn't so much texture there, the eyes look out of focus to me too...
