Excellent use of the background blurring to make the subjects stand out so well. Often, I see it overdone, with parts of the subject blurred, but not in your shots. Well done.
Thank you, Jim. Actually I used a manual lens (the Zeiss Biotar 75mm f1.5, wide open). This lens was manufactured in 1949 and is known for its great bokeh, resulting in a 3D effect. This was a challenge because the streets were very crowded and the background quite busy. I also used the Techart AF adapter, which facilitated some of the work here.
