PESO - Land, under the Sun

Hi! http://not.contaxg.com/document.php?id=12254 So far I've been severely criticized for lack of sharpness on the foreground... I wonder what you have to say re this and re the image in general. Be brutal and honest. Thanks. Boris

Boris, In case you weren't aware, the foreground is somewhat soft. If that 'thing' laying against or on the barrel were not there, the little cleaner image might be a slight improvement. Trying to be positive. Jack --- Boris Liberman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi! > > http://not.contaxg.co

Boris, Nothing appears sharp in this photo. I thought it had been made using one of your soft lenses, and was quite surprised to see it was the 77mm that was used. The photo itself does nothing for me ... Shel > [Original Message] > From: Boris Liberman > http://not.contaxg.com/document.p

I like the shot. Looking at a web image without my glasses, it's difficult for me to tell if the immediate foreground is sharp. However, I agree that it should be in a photo of this sort. Idealy, this is something you'd shoot at f22 and make it all as sharp as possible. Or, open up to about f4

Hello Boris, For me, it's not so much the foreground, but the whole image seems unsharp. I'm not quite sure why - camera shake or focus past the range of the picture or something? Also for composition, I think the barrel just a touch lower in the image would be stronger (that could also be done
