Got a new fixed 50 mm lens with a big diaphragma (f1.8).....cause I love the small depth of field.

that's what I was aiming for :/ One eye and the nose should always be sharp.

(IMO)

next time you do that, fix your shutterspeed, iso and f/stop. it will get rid of the joins.

Yeah? Making smooth panoramas always seemed like too much hassle.

Wouldn't I still have to do some brush work, or at least lens correction?

Not neccessarily.. What proggie did you use? I did these with only some cropping and cloning tool action.

I think the focus is fine (only the eyes matter IMO) however, since the eye is the most important part of the picture, it looks a little boring with the eye centered. Would be better to have some 1/3rds in there.

PS. I'm a noob :<

The first one is interesting.. it has some kind of 3D effect going on. The 2nd might benefit from a tripod and a much smaller (higher number) aperture. They're both Adobe RGB files.

You should save them as sRGB if you're going to show them on the web or the colors will look washed on Windows. Many people think you need to over saturate your photo before you save it, but they just don't know the proper way to save files. I see you used PS CS1. In CS2 (I think CS is the same), just go to Edit > Convert to Profile. Change the Destination Space profile to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and click ok. You're supposed to change the Intent as well and enable black point compensation, but I never remember which intent people say to use. Then just save as to jpeg. Don't use save for web because that will strip the EXIF information off of your photo.

I will post these in the proper thread so ToxicBug won't get his pretentious panties in a bunch.
