[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 272294, member: 17556"] I would ask that you post up some samples of the soft photos and let us all see what you are asking about. I may not be the one to answer your question but I know that using a wide open aperture, to blow out the background, will create a very narrow DOF. Focusing on the eyes is what you [I]should[/I] do but you also need enough depth of field to keep the rest of the face and head in focus as well. You probably already know this though. On the soft photos, what parts were soft? Did you get good sharp eyes? [/QUOTE]
