Thanks so much for your feedback Elena 🤩!
Yes, with super slow shutter speed and panning + strobe behind in backlight, the front details of the seahorse are not sharp. And even by editing (dehaze, texture…), I found out difficult to get a more sharpness… I guess it is also because I was shallow so there were still ambient light… to manage a sharper result, I believe I could have used an ND filter (which I didn’t have at that time) and/or close further exposure, since I couldn’t increase the speed (for panning effect) …. but then would the dreamy / spirit / ghost effect be the same???? I have to try again!
