Be aware that it’s easy to overdo
the soft-focus effect and create an
image that just looks blurry and
overexposed. The idea is that the
local contrast is reduced, not sim-
ply blurred. The final image should
look like the effect is intentional,
not a mistake. There’s a delicate
balance to strike, but when that’s
found, the results can be unique
and rewarding. n
