    IMO, you used too wide of an aperture. You have good bokeh but, too much of the goose is out of focus too.

    What is bokeh? I think the contrast is a little soft as well as the focus.

    In photography, Bokeh is a Japanese word - the transliteration of a Japanese word for "blur" - describing the subjective aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas of an image projected by a camera lens. For example, in some images the background may be deliberately caused to be out-of-focus to reduce distractions and to emphasize the primary subject.

    "Bokeh" Good job on that Mike...I remember... I had to look it up when I first started studying the effects of aperture.
