Nice pic.
I agree about steping forward abt 6-8 feet from the background. That way the dof will blur the foliage.
Beautiful young women! You should be a proud father!
Very nice shot of your daughter, Jim. Not surprising she prefers your pix. One thing, I'd have her step away from the background foliage to isolate her features as the only sharp focal point. Lovely girl. -Jonas-
