After a shoot, I go through them on Lightroom, and if it's not sharp, relevant, or otherwise bothersome, they don't get a single star. If they are at least interesting, they get a star. Every iteration, the duds are weeded out, and only a very few get 5 stars. Yet, I find this image quite compelling. The blurriness of the subjects is primarily due to the slow shutter, not from inaccurate focus or camera shake. In addition, the rain between the subjects and the camera create additional blurriness. Nicely done. On Tue, Nov 6, 2012 at 12:12 PM, Frank Filippone <red735i at verizon.net>wrote: > A Different point of view...... > > I like Nathan's image.
