This was for a standalone shot. The backstory was for a music class that i take where you put on shows and perform around the Bay Area. The man in the background is the teacher of the class.
nice work. did you take one of him in focus with her oof? swap subjects whenever you have a chance. it's just one more frame, but you never know when you might need it.
Another lovely sharp image with editing that suits the subject well. I also like your use of DOF and on reading your description its even better knowing this is teacher looking on at pupil. Great stuff :o)
