Clara, thank you for your coment! The problem with this photo is that it was shot from distance, and my camera has only an 3x optical zoom, so i?ve had to zoom it a bit to get the composition i wanted - my camera is also only 1,3 MP, so some much detail was lost and it lacks of sharpness...i really wanted those people, the path that leads to them, and the tree, to be the sharpest parts of the image...i guess the only thing that saves it is the composition, IMHO, ;-)
I'm having difficulty with DOF and the overall focus of the image. My eye wants to focus on the men at the end of the path, but the sharpest part of the image is the path itself. I just don't find the effect appealing. I'm not sure if you wanted the men to be slightly blurred though. I like the composition.
