I do like this crop. Which just goes to show what I know, because I would have cropped it across the bottom, not up the right hand side

Good idea Martin.

Thanks Martin. I'll have a look at the original and see if I've got the detail in their hair. I darkened the background a bit ( if I remember correctly ) to avoid the distraction of the stairs.

Seriously, though. I agree with Tony, I'd have cloned the cobweb out. And, joking aside about the background, I also find the bottom right hand corner distracting. I think I'd have cropped it above the darker area. (IMHO)

I think I've mentioned before, I really don't like photographing people, so portraits scare the life out of me..don't ask why as I couldn't answer.
Anyway, my son was playing with one of his friends and I snatched a couple of un-posed shots and I think this one worked really well.
I've put up both colour and mono. C&C please.

To be honest, I like the small DoF. I keep trying for that effect, but never manage it as well as you have with these.

I love these arguments...that is argument in the "true" intellectual sense, not an all out row!
I don't have the knowledge to add anything constructive, but I've got two things to say.
a) Oggy...Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
b) Stephan, your example of saying car to mean ball. That in itself shows how words can end up having a different meaning to its original, intended use.
By "car", I assume you mean automobile. Not "Carriage", of which "car" is an abreviation. The carriage referred to would have originally been a horseless carriage.
So, IMHO, bokeh may actually have originated with the meaning you suggest, but may evolve (if it hasn't already), to mean the whole OOF area behind the main subject.
