Great image Max, love the lighting and DOF.
Thanks Nigel. Lighting was the dead-on late afternoon sun and the only way I could get decent short DOF was to crank out the zoom and step back a bit. Small format cameras give you way too much DOF, so much so that its hard to make the background less distracting.
Cheers,
Max
