I think if the Bokeh was better the shot would be worse. Something about the slightly bunchy Bokeh which picks up and amplifies the chairs. Really! I'd bring down the shadows. If you look at the backs of the chairs you can see you focus on the chair one towards us from the kid. Check out that cup holder. It's sharp the kids leg behind it is not. I think if his leg was in focus you'd have a much better shot. A little denim texture goes a long way. :) ...Is why I like to stop down a couple if I possible can. Give me f5.6 and I'll be there! The cinematographers favorite f stop! And they are shooting in effect half frame! Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
