Grandaughter

f

I was working on this photo I took of my grandaughter during my recent trip to see her family. I needed just a little more DOF to get the right eye in focus even though I purposely used a very shallow DOF. She is eight years old and a real sweetie.

This is the second time that I have processed it. This time I barely sharpened it. I tried sharpening the eyes only, and didn't like that. What do you think?

Canon EOS 1D Mark II ,Canon 85 f/1.2L

I like it. I wouldn't have noticed any focus issues if you hadn't mentioned it. :-)

Wonderful job, I was captivated by her big smile!
Sharpness looks perfect to me for this portrait Cindy.

This is a beautiful portrait of a darling young girl! The slight (very slight!!) softness is perfect for this shot! I like your DoF!

I think overall it's a very beautiful shot...too lovely to be concerned over a little off focus. She's a beauty, Cindy.

I think you did fantastic with the exposure, all though I would have liked to have seen the pearl necklace more in focus, and her right hand opened flat on the sheet. I think her eyes are fine as they are, and I do like the softness in the focus you achieved. And it's like you said, she's only eight. Well done, gmv

It's a terrific job in the post. The softness is perfect for a girl this age.

Looks like she could be a real heart-breaker someday.
