Thank you Markjay, appreciate your comment.

To be fair, I give the 50 1.4 a lot of credit, it's a great lens and gives us the DOF that we like. The 5D + a fast prime = full control of DOF. I'm having a blast with that combo.

I really like the colors in this image, they all work so well together! Ofcourse, your 5 fingers and great DOF really make the image work well. Nice work! Markjay

I too am finding I really like this shot upon closer inspection vs. the 1st glance at the thumbnail. the composition, DOF and background colours are all great. - b.c.

I think Jim's commentts nailed it. But the DOF isn't "nice," it's essential in the success of this image. WTG AAM! - Pops

As others have said, the shallow DOF is very nice here. And I like the vertical line in the background and how it intersects with the hand and the child's form. My eye is drawn to the hand and then to his smiling face peeking around it. There's a lot more going on in this than what I saw initially from the thumbnail :)

I was hoping that a shot like this would be first and it is... great one, love the shallow DOF and the earthy colours. Vikas.

I like it. I like the shallow DOF. Ya know, I've got a ton of photos of my kids that are basically variations on this theme. -- Bruce
