Beautiful shot... The tones of wonderful, with the general colouring of the photograph making a wonderful contrast with the subject's pale skin.

Just wondering out of curiosity... how much of the differenctial focus effect was acheived in camera using a wide aperture, and how much of it was acheived in Photoshop?

I love using my f1.8 lens for a differential focus effect like this, but I've also been experimenting with Photoshop for acheiving a similar effect for those times when I don't have the f1.8 lens with me... but only with partial success.

i really like the limited are of focus, it really makes this photo work.
plus his somewhat sailorish look with the navy stripes and scarf

Absolutely none of my work is edited digitally like this ... everything is always done either in camera, or in the darkroom.

The focus effect was created entirely in the camera - I was using a view camera (similar to a 4x5), and you can change the planes of focus by careful tilting of the lens. This was tilted, and my aperture was f5.6.

I only ever use photoshop of colour correction, and minor cropping.
