Very nice, the pink/browns of her dress and skin go so well with the grasses. It's almost like it hardly shows any colour, and yet, it's full of colours. I like this.

I don't think you know me very well :) [just teasing, with a little bit of truth -- thank you very much though :)]

No, I didn't, not this time with this picture. All 5 shots at very shallow DOF, but no combinations of in focus/oof images. I love to do that, it is an old technique that goes by different names ("defocusing" is one name), but I understand it just isn't "legal" here for whatever reason. It doesn't matter, a person doesn't have to do everything at every place.
