Charles:
Great image with good POV. The focus is sharp where it matters. :toast:

I like these shallow DOF treatments when they don't make the blur so obvious that it seems like an artificial blur created by the equipment. Good job keeping just enough in focus to look natural, yet still make a pleasing soft background.
