Originally posted by bpickard: This is really great. Love the clarity. I have two suggestions. One, remove the colour from the left side buildings to direct attention to the main ones. Crop the water/ground from the bottom: this would make the shot even more 'magical' by making the buildings appear to be clinging to the mountainside. Ben

Thank you for ur valuable input. Here is editted picture as per your suggestions :)

A beautiful picture indeed. the glow on girl's face , the twinkles in her eyes & her smile.... every thing is just perfect. Love it, love it , love it :) = 10
Just out of curiousity, did u take an other shot where jar is in focus instead of girl? Would very much like to see that if possible.

very nice idea but honestly it does look little strange due to excessive fade out in face area while person's right hand is quite in focus. IMHO, if u apply fadding in a circular/oval fashion instead of linear centrally, it will bring out a main focal point and leave the rest to bit out of focus dreamy effect. With face on a side, the rule of 3rd will make it more appealing to many photo gurus here :)
Overall, love the idea and will look forward to see its other versions. I would love to see soft focus on face with expressions still visible.
