[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here is a second photo from our family trip to Varadero, Cuba in last April. My girlfriend and I were enjoying the beach while our daughter was playing... so I decided to experiement a little bit. I focused on my girlfriend's toe nails but kept our daughter in background. The result was amazing and was obtained like so directly from the lens. No postprocessing at all to create or increase the blurring effect. Boy, I love this 18-200mm lens !!! I hope you'll enjoy and find it as funny as I do ??? Don't hesitate to provide any comments.

Hola ! Voici une deuxième photo tirée de notre voyage à Varadero de Cuba en avril dernier. Ma copine et moi profitions de la plage tout en regardant Raphaëlle s'amuser dans le sable chaud. On a donc décidé d'expérimenter un peu et avons modifié la prise de vue afin de focuser sur les orteilles tout en conservant la petite en arrière-plan. Le résultat est captivant... aucune modification n'a été apporté pour créer ou augmenter l'effet "flou". C'est ce que nous avons obtenus directement dans l'appareil. Wow que j'adore cette lentille 18-200mm !!! J'espère que vous aimerez autant que moi. N'hésitez pas à passer vos commentaires.

Enjoy it !!!
Cheers, Frank.

Hi Frank,

I like your experiment.
You did well with the f/5.6 to blur you daughter just enough to still see her and what she is doing.
Your girlfriends foot and toes are sharp and gives and great impression of depth in the photo.
The colours and light are great.
It all adds to the feeling of a warm summer day on the beach.

I think the composition is a little bit off. I think it would have worked better if you had more of the foot and maybe a little leg take up 1/3 of the frame from the right and tried to place your daughter on the remaining 2/3 of the frame. Just a thought.

Cheers,
Jens

nice holiday mood.
and creative use of the dof.
