[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 4524152, member: 56"]The hat and the procession: that's pretty good focus on both. Must have been a bright day. I'd crop it to eliminate that white sky, but I don't know that there's anything to be done about that head in the left foreground. The second one is a bit blurry (not convinced it's soft focus), and the highlights look washed out. Some fiddling with contrast might help. The third looks pretty much a standard snap.
