I think this couldn't have been any better if you had planned it that way. It is so cool that he is coming out at us that way. WONDERFUL Shot! #4918372

Wrong, wrong, wrong, Rachel, this shot is awesome. The depth of field is exactly as it would be considering the subject shape. beautiful effect, really great proportions. Stunning shot.

I love the dof. It gives the shot a lot of character and menacing. #6103304
