What do you think about this?
Have you ever seen better sharpness and better bokeh in the same photo?

Sorry Nathan,
The subject is well chosen and there is nothing wrong with the sharpness wide open. Very nice bokeh visible in the lower left half.
But my eyes are distracted and painfully stressed by the blown out highlights top right.
I would crop that away and hopefully resolve some highlight in your raw converter.

Martin.
Best regards,

Martin.

I usually do not like totally white on my pic. Avoid it.
But here....it has got its purpose in a way.

I am disturbed by the white background line behind (below) the uper left(corner) ball.....if you understand.

Sharpness? yes, nice.

I guess it is very difficult to find a nice frame for it.....
