Love the color tones on this, and the aperture choice was perfect. -Ed Hahn

it is all DOF. this was shot at f/1.8.

I have a question. Is the smoothness of the mother's hand from post processing, or is it just from the shallow depth of field? It seems a bit too smooth to be much from DOF. --Victor

thanks man. that's a really nice thing to say.

This one has stuck with me for months. Several things conspire to make this a great image: Wonderful complement of colors, good contrast, the soft abstraction offered by a shallow DOF, and (most importantly) a metric ton of emotion. The closeness carries outward as surely as the light that transmits it to my eyes. As noted prior, one of my favorite Grant Hamilton images to date.

I love the tininess (if that's a word) and tenderness of this shot! Joe
