Default is it too much details?

Ngọc Dâng.

Pentax K10D + 70 ltd.
f /2.4
speed: 1/250
iso 400

I'm thinking if I emphasize on the lips only, should it be any better?

Thanks.

Is it just me or does that photo look a little soft/blurry? (especially around the teeth).
Great shot though!

It is a little soft, and underexposed. I quite like it though. I would adjust the contrast a little, and maybe do just a little selective sharpening around her eyes. She is very pretty!

what mode were you shooting in when you took this? Her shirt collar/wrist look to be in focus, but not her face, esp her eyes. With a k10 and a DA 70, thats a curious result. my best guess is she shifted as you hit the shutter, or you allowed the camera to pick its own focus points. It obviously decided it REALLY wanted to see a crisp shirt collar.

Next time try using spot focus on her eye, recompose if you want it off center and try again. that's a gorgeous lens, and you should be able to get some spectacular results with it. Get some more light on her and try it around 5.6.

@all: I'm so happy that you put your comments on my shoot. I'm a brand new beginner and really on the way of learning, trying, testing. Your inputs are very meaningful to me.

@Niresangwa: I shoot at M mode. This is actually a candid. She was moving up and my K10D has problem with back focus. But I think it is me who did not control the shoot well. This was one of my very first shoot.
