Hi all these are some pictures that I took while I was practising manual focus. Could you guys comment on the focus and quality please. Thanks so much.

#1: What did you focus on here ? My guess would be the two letters behind the front wheel. Overall it is a bit lacking of sharpness, on the other hand the background/ceiling could be more blurred. Difficult to get this one right and I think you faired pretty well.
This subject with all the reflections would have certainly given the autofocus a good run...
I like the composition and PP (in spite of not being a friend of blown areas in general).

#2: Great shot, focus seems to be exactly where it should be. I would crop the top, though, to get a "monochromatic" background (i.e. get rid of the dark stuff on the top). You also took the right aperture, the DOF is just right (to my taste at least).

thank you for the comment.

I agree pic 1 was quite difficult to handle due to the many directions of the light.
