Well QG, when I first saw the image it had great appeal to me. I thought "what a lovely portrait and use of very limited DOF".
Then I read your message and I looked back at the image and thought "mmm, not sure I love what the OOF did to the white top..".
How dam fussy! It's a lovely image all round with excellent use of limited DOF and the point of focus is spot on. It conveys a lovely serenity - composition, colour, softness etc.
But yes, you make a very sound point about understanding a lens' DOF and using softness very deliberatley to avoid "just a soft image".
Thanks for sharing the image as it adds so much to your valuable comment.
