Sharp and detailed front field yet not sure about the rear field (her hair) appearing detached and somewhat distracting. With what appears to be a nearly clean background I'm not sure why you chose to shoot wide open when more DOF would have improved this shot IMO.
Inspiration is rarer than a plate glass camera.....

Hello Gary

Thanks very much for the comment it is very much appreciated. I think you're right that a little more DOF would have benefited, but the light was low; to keep the shutter at even 1/80 I was shooting at F3.5; intentionally without flash to keep it natural and with a low ISO to retain some quality. With a 105mmm lens I didn't want to risk a lower shutter speed.

I also think that the processing has accentuated the effect you have mentioned (again intentionally) as I have used a second layer with a very small amount of Gaussian Blur on parts of this image.

Regards
