This is really a lot like painting
actually, it's more like poetry
You'd be amazed how small the demand is for pictures of trees... - Fred Astaire to Audrey Hepburn

There once was a shooter in large format
Whose models he liked to torment
He used hocus pocus
to learn to zone focus
and is as shallow as his own depth of field.

Once again I would suggest a Kalart rangefinder with a focus spot attatchment (www.graflex.org). It will project two spots onto your subject and when they coinside upon the lovely, you are in focus (once it is set up). It was designed for focusing in the dark for flash photography, so the closer you get to that scenario the happier you will be with the stock model. But feel free to hot rod it.....it isn't rocket science and it is a visual reference in real time to establish focus. Just establish the focus on GG, align the focus spot and move the camera in and out to align the dots.
Well, at least you're not a critic...
If a contact print at arm's length is too small to see, you need a bigger camera. :D

Dont' forget the most important rule of art teaching:
Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach
Well that was the saying when I was one of the Lecturers in the Adult Education Department at the University of Technology, Sydney. I haven't heard the critics line before and will have to remember it.
