Cow Parsley

by sandinista

This is from last summer and was taken along the local canal bank. I used a very shallow DOF and thought the sepia effect suited the subject

Lovingly composed and presented I really like the effect.

Maybe the having a patch of bokeh in the centre is a little distracting as that is where my eye is hitting first? I suppose it makes me look around for the detail on the left and the right though. Just a thought, (I'm pretty board having taken most the week off with flu )

I agree Sean, technically it is a no-no and the oof centre does distract, it is worse in the colour and straight mono versions, the sepia seems to tone it down a tad and allow the eye to wander to the left and right. Hope you feel better soon
