nice simple composition demonstrates an understanding of the proportions of a profile. Hair and flora provide interesting textures. the condensed visual information of a profile juts out from the center, perfectly shaped into areas of light and dark by the angle of sunlight. 9
There is no soft focus here. Soft focus has a misty character with the edges softened and bright areas turned like fog. It results of light difusion before the lens. This picture is only using a shallow DOF.
