Take Me To Your Leader.....

Rose, that's a load of nonsense. Ben's comments are VERY to-the-point; he has exposed the weakness of your treatment of this image. It's an image that uses a lot of blur rather arbitrarily and does not in any way convince the viewer that the shallow DOF is natural. You can argue all you want, but this is a fact. Perhaps if you spent less time slamming people who are really trying to help and more time studying what they have to say, things would go more smoothly.

The more I see of this one, the more I like it! That's a very cool expression, and there's a crispness vs. bokeh thing going on here that appeals. WHAT is she thinking? Is her boyfriend late? Love the reversed whisp of hair also. Bumping you for good luck.

Fascinating to watch the subtle changes you make in this one... Care to PM me and let me know how you're doing? As you know, I think it's a great shot.
