Hi Boris ... Unlike Kevin, I don't think the foreground needs much, if any, detail. I like the idea of seeing just shades of grey. However, the foreground seem out of synch with the rest of the scene - sharp verticals of an irregular pattern against a rolling, gentle background. To my mind they

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that out. It still is a totally different effect than soft focus. Soft focus is not meant to smooth wrinkles per se, but it actually causes highlights to expand and blur a bit - more like a halo. That is why a standard diffusion filter doesn't do the trick. Bruce

There are a number of soft focus filters available for the Cokin filter contraption; as I recall, Cokin sells 2 or 3 types. The effect varies depending on f-stop, lens focal length, and on where, in the contraption, the filter is mounted. So you'd have some experimenting to do. Bruce Dayton wrote
