Very nice and natural image of this two young ladies. I like the way you have captured that look of the girl on the right side. Reminds me of drawings showing young Florentine Renaissance women.

Is it me or are they all blurred?

@Barry Giddens - From Berger - ' by their nature, photographs have little or no property value because they have no rarity value. The very principle of photography is that the resulting image is not unique, but on the contrary infinity reproducible. Thus, in 20th century terms photographs are records of things seen. Let us consider them no closer to art than cardiograms." - Yours - I.

Great discussion. Way better than any masters class. And here I thought this forum just focused on topics like "How shaving with carts and gels can shorten your life" or "My top 5 soaps made of human breast milk". Silly me.
