I hope I haven't posted this one before.. I just reprocessed it thinking it was the first time and then discovered I already had one. Well, this one is a little better... Anyway, it was made near Luang Prabang, Laos.

Lovely shot! The first one I much prefer. Which lens did you use here? I am guessing the 85mm f/1.2.

JD - It was the 85 f1.8 at f2.0. Bokeh is strictly due the lens, not software. Thanks for the comments.

I love it also AL.
While I'm a big fan of your B&W's, I wonder if just a little cooler(less warm) on the color would be even better.

Good catch Fran.... It is pretty warm....

I may have gone too far but how about this?

It's much better in my mind. He doesn't get lost in the BG as much either.
Really nice!

The black and white is really nice. Very good detail in his lips.
