Anden,

Great Capture !!

I really like the "her eyes open" ... "his eyes closed". It really depicts the moment, not to mention the seeds blowing by.

I also like the OOF tree limb in back framing the space between the two of them. Either you got VERY LUCKY with that element of composition, or you pulled off a staged shot that looks totally natural. Either way ... GREAT WORK !!

I could see this having huge appeal ... if you know how to get it to market.

Thanks Rusty! Very kind words! The tree limb was not intentional more than that I wanted it in the oof area.

I disagree completely. I think it's too bad that the boy's eyes are closed. But what do I know?

Well, everyone is entitled to it´s own opinion and one can not please everyone :-) Thank you for your input!

Andreas, you know I love your work in general right, especially your flower images. But this one I don't like personally. Sorry!

No worries! I think it is good to get different opinions. If you just get the good ones you will not improve.

Same family, same setup (5DII + 85L).

This is not the best bokeh but it shows that the best "bokeh" lens can struggle in hard conditions. The whole photo is sharpened and that does not help.
Still... I love the photo and so does the family.

I think the lighting, color and facial expressions are wonderful. I would have loved a family portriat like this one. Well done!

Ok, how many frames did you have to shoot to get that in focus?

The bokeh is surprisingly a little weird coming from the 85L but it is still a very nice family portrait!

I'd say it had been less good with a smoother bokeh!

The swirl thing fits the picture very well.

Not so surprising if you take into account the relative distances between camera, subject and background, which is an often-overlooked bokeh factor. If the bench had been another 4 or 5 feet away from the background, you'd see something quite different. I think this is what Andreas was trying to point out.

Nevertheless, I do agree that the bokeh is a bit on the funky side, and I see some strange things going on to the left (your right) of the father's head.

But as Andreas says, the family loves the photo!

The blur on the grass below the bench is beautiful though.

There are no highlights in the grass.
