Very nice! One of the basic challenges I struggle with is getting the focus right on shots like this, and I would have had trouble getting my autofocus to overlook the basket to focus on the boy's face. Then on closer scrutiny it looks like maybe you did perform a little digilab work with selective focus In anycase, nice work, and thanks for sharing.

Appreciate your comments.

Yes, 1pocket, your crafty eye is right! The depth of focus is postproc.

This is one of the flawed, but with some merit, shots I am trying to salvage from when I had less ability than the very little I now possess.

Kind of a mix here between modern and...not so modern, heh.

This looks like the same bread:

So modest! I think it's a great shot, very expressive and I don't mind the PP selective focus.

@Justiceiro - intriguing pic, thanks.

Whether the same bread or not, I guess it would be a bit stale by now!

Had a look at some things of yours. I like portraiture as well. The care you take with focus is very obvious. Thanks for the link.
