It just seems to me that towards the beginning there are a few moments when NONE of the frame is in focus. For instance, the fourth shot (the baby from over the shoulder of his mother at 00:13:00). Maybe it's deliberate and I am missing the point? I could understand an overall soft focus effect being appropriate to this content but I am having difficulty with only the ends of toes and very small sections of faces being featured :-)

Sorry to be so negative here - I am a great fan of your work as you know.

Do you mean that I also post it in show work thread?
Sorry, perhaps I should have said "cross post" - I thought we were not allowed to post the same message to 2 different forums.
