Your use of selective DOF is outstanding here. That BG is awsome as well. Fine capture.

I like the mood and composition in this one. The DOF works for me, too.

I really like the pose,eyes and the bg`s color!

[Julie Kenward]

You nailed those eyes! The colors and OOF background really enhance this portrait. Great exposure on bringing out the details in the blacks without losing the details in the whites.
