    Image sharpness is one of photography's yin/yang propositions. Soft focus can impair a photograph, but just as readily enhance it. Blurs and soft zones function like shadows and highlights; they minimize certain details in the image and redirect a viewer's attention within the frame. "Like the rest stops in a piece of music," writes author Jim Cornfield, "creatively manipulated softness can empower a photograph's impact."
    There are countless ways to selectively modulate sharpness in an image. This veteran commercial photographer reveals his personal choices for using soft focus. "It's not just eye candy," he writes, "it can also add great depth and meaning to an image."

    @cowboyjunkie (a name that seems to be inactive), a refresh or a reup please. It has been 4 years and there seemed to be only mild interest, but if the OP is not available, a mirror would be appreciated. The topic and the description interests me. Thanks in advance.
