Amazing, they look like they came out of a holly wood movie!

like to hear some comments about this photo.
*like how well the bokeh and etc

I think it's ok, the bokeh is a little distracting. I don't like the flowers, they are blurry, and it takes away from the sharpness of the image, it looks more of slow shutter than motion blur.

But I really like the idea of blurry petals, and the girl blowing.

great shot!

if you have shot raw and lightroom i would suggest pulling the highlight down a tiny bit to take a little emphasis off the hair highlight it draws your eye away from her face. I would possibly tweek the contrast up a tiny bit too

Really like it. Very original idea blowing the flower petals. The petals blend in nicely with the bokeh. Probably just a coincidence?, but a nice blend of colors also.

Very nice! Very Karsh-ish. Even though I'm obviously looking at it on a monitor, it "feels" like it was printed on fiber based paper!

I assume this was split toned? If so, would you be willing to share your settings?

I use Nik silver efex 2 to get the split toned look. I think Silver Efex has the best toning and grain simulation of all the software I've used. I dial the toning in on each image individually but always turn paper toning completely off and set the balance at -50 or below.

Re: Canon EF135mm f/2L USM

It's my favorite lens, next to the 50L, easily suitable for fashion and portrait work. It also shines as a lighter, more discreet lens for street photographers. Creating beautiful crisp images with wonderful bokeh in lowlight, better than the current zooms in my opinion. Here's an image paired with the 5DM3, square cropped (You can see the full image at my Website under Journal > Amara).
