two on 5th avenue

this Ai image is great. i wanted two people in focus, walking down 5th avenue in new york. i also demanded a photo with very shallow depth of field. well done.

with, luckily, a few flaws. depth of field would keep the legs of the two in focus, and everthing further back out of focus. optically it does not make sense to have two areas of sharpness. another flaw has to do with text. the taxi on the right has nonsense on its roof.

in a further attempt i wanted this image to be animated. this works well. the traffic jam make the cars stand still; one car moves a bit. the closer the two people get to the „camera“ the more puppet-like they look.

someone commented that the woman somehow lost her handbag. true!
