I made no comment on the 'goodness' of the shot. It's sharp where he focused. That's all. It's not soft like you said. Mac P.

It's sharp where he focused. That's all. It's not soft like you said. His subject was probably less than 5 feet away @ 1.2 his DOF would be around 2 cm. It's sharp inside those two centimeters. I know about the DOF of the 85f1.2 and if the guy had his eyes open it would be a better shot.

Looks great Doc. I know exactly what you are talking about. I actually like both kinds of bokeh. I really depends on the intent and use. The one of the nurse the art director wanted a nice smooth oof area to run type over. To much detail and the type can get hard to read.
