I like the way you have controlled depth of field here. Great image, especially at the larger size.

Hi Ian,

Fantastic image :toast: :toast:

The shallow depth of field really works to isolate the subject within the image. Love it :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

Lovely image Ian. BG colours superb. On viewing the larger image you can really see how much sharpness is lost in the compressed image.
