Thank you Simon! :)

BTW, no Photoshop work other than the obvious! The shallow DOF was achieved by using the 85mm f/1.2 L (wide open).

Very cool shot! I also like the composition.

Thanks Kevin! I am particularly happy with this one because I visualised this shot well beforehand, and dragged her to the bathroom (well, not literally :)), and had her pretend to put on and check the lipstick, etc... and it worked out exactly the way I saw it in my mind! :D

She loves it as well, and that is the icing on the cake, IMO. :)

Reminds me of the creamy look I used to get with the f/1.0 Noctilux on my Leica M6. It produced very dreamy images, but a pig to focus :D
