I'm new to photography on this level, and I understand the thought, experimentation, etc that goes into this art. I'm working on that. Sometimes, though, I think you just get lucky with a shot. I think this example is a case of dumb luck. I was taking a picture of my wife putting a flower on this groomsman, and he stepped back. I took this quick snap of him. Then I saw it, and said "wow".

I did some softening and a little cropping in PS.

C&C... Is this too soft? I like it printed (I did a quick 4x6), but I'm still trying to get a handle on how soft is too soft.

Thanks!

Why do people post their equipment in their sig. Isn't it kind of like bragging? That having been said...

    Light doesn't get much better than this. Wonderful.

    As for softness, it's pretty much a matter of taste and, to my taste, this is a bit too soft.

    it is taste!
    As the above poster said it best.

    I might do one version this soft on Sunday. Think its not soft enough by Monday and wonder where all the softness went by Wednesday.

    cheers, tom

    ps: nice light!

    it's a bit too soft for my tast as well..nice cappture though. And I agree .. "luck" is a big factor but luck is the intersection of prepareness and opportunity.
