Bokeh is critical because of the busy background. The first photo looks fine where the second photo it is very distracting. Definitely less in the second photo. It appears you used the same lens and f stop in both photos. Why the big difference? Since there is one stop difference in shutter speed, my guess is maybe the first was shot at f2. Thanks, the photos and color are beautiful. Len On Mar 18, 2009, at 8:21 AM, Tina Manley wrote: > PESO: > > A question about bokeh in two photos.
