I was abroad.
Here is a gift from a set.

Is that a light behind the far left woman's head? It bleeds onto her face somewhat and really distracted me.

Also, is it blurry, or soft? I'm having trouble telling the difference.

I do love the contract of their expressions. Friendly to almost seductive to almost afraid. Beautiful.

Should have been only soft. Not blurry.
The red in the back is distracting.
Should have seen more or less of the girl in the lower right.
With that done it would be great. Now it's 'only' good :)

thanks for your comments.
I do not remember any light source behind the subjects. It may be a colorful background.
The softness on faces are due to post processing to increase the picture effectiveness.
