my first portrait attempt-flower

I've just bought the canon 50mm 1.8. No PP.comment really appreciated

they look soft, I would crop in some....

Yup. These are def OOF.

I'll tell you, I just picked up the 50mm 1.4 recently. And these lens' are very finicky on finding that sweet spot. The DOF is paper thin and you really need to shot a lot to get the feel for it. Try moving the camera (all together) in/out to find that happy medium, instead of rotating the focus ring. It's helped me.

Keep up the work and don't forget to post em when you got em.

Yes, it can be difficult to get the focus spot on with that lens. When it's on, it's amazingly sharp. Were these taken at 1.8?

thanks for the tips i'll give it another go....
