Everything about this portrait just sings. The beautiful soft light, the make-up that perfectly matches the jewelry on her head, the focus fall-off into the brown backdrop that compliments her eyes and hair. Stunningly good work.

It is a very appealing portrait. Soft lighting and a narrow depth of field give it lots of character.

Thank you. I'm glad the shallow depth of field seems to be received well, because I'm always unsure if shooting wide open is the right choice for a closeup portrait like this

Thank you so much Brent. When I initially bought this lens I told myself I would have to refrain from doing close-in portraits with the aperture set wide open, but I honestly love the look so I figured I might as well. That extra wide aperture came at a premium price anyways.
