Hi Mick and welcome, just wondering what lens you caught this with :shrug: as there is no exif. The bottom line really is that the subject and the surrounding area does look quite soft, usually a case of camera shake and perhaps a faster shutter speed needed. Like I say if you can provide some exif details this will help viewers point you in the right direction

Thanks Mick, now that you mentioned to Tina you were about 6-7ft away, I wonder if you had your lens set on minimum focus distance which if I am right for that lens is 1.8 mtrs aprox 5`-10". If your estimate of distance was out then this could have been part of the cause as well, only guestimating though . Thanks again, and keep sending them in
