Thank you Frank. 
It is a bit too soft. But that might be because I have a soft spot for the
subject ;-)
She was very cute.

A lovely shot, but a bit soft (says the man who never focuses ). 
Still, enough good things going for it that I like it.

You are absolutely right about the sharpness Cotty. I did cheated a bit by
blurring it just a little. It was shot handheld at 1/50, I may have moved a
bit despite my monopod.
I have other takes, but the expression on her face is best in this one.
Perhaps blurring it a bit more would have been a better approach. 
I didn't, now it's online "as is" ;-)

It resides in neverland between sharp and blurry - it's neither one or
the other. Tricky to sharpen up something that doesn't have the info to
start with, but a lot easier to blur it up a little in PS ;-)  She's gorgeous.

PESO:Sudha listens

2005-08-23 Thread Tim Øsleby

A picture of Sudha Ragunathan at a concert at Førde Folk Music Festival.
Besides being a very sweet woman, Sudha is a performer in classical Indian
music. This concert was a concert where very different cultures met and
melted. 

The image is an attempt to do the same thing as in "Gabriel, the Listener"
(another PESO of mine): To show that music is more than just to perform, it
is about listening, a state of mind, being open to others.

I like the colours, the harmony. I like the expression on both subjects. She
is smiling, he looks a bit more thoughtful, looking at her. 

*istDS, handheld with a bit of support of a monopod.
