 Thanks everybody.
I'm very happy for the blue because I like very much this shot and the story behind it. I'm the model and I had some difficult during the set (cars, people etc.).
The shallow is not due to the post production but to the incredible Canon 85 mm lens.
Ciao!

I just can't stop opening this image to check it out again and again, I really love the shallow depth of field!!!

I use Nikon, but I love the images I get with my Nikon 85mm f/1.8 when it is used wide open,

Great image!!

Did you use a tilt/shift lense, full format camera or did you add the focus line in post edit? Either way it gives the image an interesting look.
Well done - 7
