I like the softened version of the wife pic. With the focus on her and surrounding soft like that, it draws your eyes to her face, which I'm assuming was the intent.

Thanks Jeff. What about this one? I combined the effects?

The WB is too far off for me in that one. The B/W is another great one. She's has that 'WTF' look on her face.....lol. She photographs well!

She does indeed

Only thing is depending on the day sometimes she doesn't mind and sometimes she doesn't want her picture taken.

MrClean · 11-01-2011, 02:41 AM

I think a lot of wives are like that, mine won't even let me take her picture. Crazy women!

We both do.

MrClean · 11-01-2011, 03:46 AM

Nice, that works out well then!

emopunker2004 · 11-01-2011, 03:48 AM

Indeed. Same place of work too. Saves on gas.

Not a fan of the lomo.

As is, the focal softened looks too fake (blur above her head where the eye expects it to be sharp + same blur applied across the entire photo), But it would totally be my vote IF you graduated strength of the blur (left and right edges being VERY blurry, lightening up till you get to the subject) ...

Exactly, looks very believable now

Here's what I whipped up whilst playing with it. I played with motion blur and gaussian blur, along with a black and white version.

motion blur, color

motion blur, black and white

gaussian blur, color
(heavier blur than yours... a lighter blur like yours will look much more realistic, a heavier blur like this can be riskier, but gain a little more pop). given the two side by side, I would probably pick the lighter blur.
