Point of focus - Eye by kwind

Point of focus - Eye

I found this incredible shell on the beach this morning. I think it was an oyster shell that has been eaten or corroded. The texture and details were crazy. I had my husband hold it as it resembled a mask. In this shot I focused on his eye so his shell is blurry. In the alternate version I focused on the shell.

I couldn't decided which I liked better. Any thoughts?? I welcome your ideas. Thanks for all your wonderful comments and fav's!!
He looks like the Phantom of the Opera. Great finding and great shot.

L-O-V-E this one! Very dramatic and super cool!

That is so cool. You can really see the difference! This one is my favorite. It almost looks like it could be a part of him.

I can see why you couldn't chose between the two - i honestly love them both! i think this one just tips it for me....although you lose the texture of the shell which is a shame i love "people pictures" =) both awesome though!

such a great idea! wonderful shot! i love both but if i had to choose i would choose the other one! just because the texture of the shell is way too cool!

Ohhhh, I can't decide which one. I love the texture but am distracted by the blurred eye in the other one. Did you try a narrower aperture to get both into it or was he too far away from the shell?

@traeumerlein Let's just say my model was less than cooperative! Not a lot of time to fiddle with the settings unfortunately. Your suggestion was next on my list. That's for your comment and idea.

@kwind Lol. I know that uncooperative-model-problem, seems like we're in the same boat.

Even though l do like this one - the shell is lost , so my choice is the other!!
