Mollie King all smiles but the camera is not having it?

Mollie King of the Saturdays leaving BBC Radio 1 in Central London followed by Vanessa White and Rochelle Humes (eyes down) . I think there is five of them in the Girl Group Frankie Bridge, Vanessa white, Una Healy, Rochelle Humes and of course the blonde one Mollie King.  It's a big smile from Mollie and plenty of eye contact, it's a winner BUT??? what's happened here then? Apart from being over exposed (white is a tricky one to capture with manual flash) we are back on the damned autofocus not liking this smiling blonde woman and instead is focusing on the two behind her who are partially obscured?? Doesn't look that bad at normal viewing but blow it up to the uber critical 200% which was what the media and pcture editors will do and it is way off the mark. You almost wish you could hit the replay button like in a video and take the shot again but unfortunately there is no Take 2 in this game. If you didn't get it .....then you didn't get it.  Maybe the latest...

Rochelle Humes nearly there but not really???

  It's all in the eyes as they say and this one certainly knows it? Another Female Celebrity photo FAIL! This is not a photographer error or camera playing up it's more a celebrity not playing ball. Rochelle Humes at the time this was taken was part of the Girl Group The Saturdays. They were visiting BBC Radio 1 in Central London promoting their latest single/album or doing something in the live department. One of those or all 3. Can't rememeber. Did manage to get shots of Franke Sandford now Bridge, Una Healy and something vaguely of Mollie King but this one was proving  a bit elusive. Remember it being packed wresting not just with other paps but screaming fans and autograph hunters as well. This photo of Rochelle.... what can I say .... she is there, she is in focus so no dreaded back focusing, it's technically sharp as hell and beautifully exposed, lovely wall as a backdrop, lovely outfit  BUT a bit too side on and the dreaded "eyes down" is a sure way to ...
