Hot babe. :-)

And if one has a soft background (water, sky), the shallow DoF need not be a big issue.

The shallow dof techniques works as well. I couldn't agree more that it is the person behind the camera and not the equipment that matters most. Good equipment has the advantage of making shooting easier, but not necessarily better. To use cinema as an example are the works of Chaplin, Eisenstein, Cocteau, Maya Deren or Lynch's 1970's "Eraserhead" of a lower quality than today's films? No. They were able to create visual masterpieces with very rudimentary equipment compared to today's high-tech gear. It's the man ... not the machine.</p> It did turn out quite good.
