fimgirl Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I think the title says it all. You can do better than that. The monotone one is devoid of tonal range due to the resident colours being too complimentary and dropping into the same zone range and as such failing in seperation. If it's a bokeh test then maybe the inclusion of more background would have been beneficial. Caveat. This is the evaluation section! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Somehow the bokeh is competing with the image. There is an illusion of motion to it (the bokeh). The subject is lost in the confusion because there is not enough tonal distinction. It's better in color.
