What to look for
-
Skin
Holds wrinkle and eyebrow detail where focus sits. Look at the brow hairs and forehead creases in 02, and the forehead lines and beard in 04.
-
Backgrounds
Out-of-focus backgrounds go soft with single edges and no busy outlines. Look at the glassware in the cabinet behind 04 and the window bars behind 05.
