This looks like you shot it with a tilt shift lens and I love the effect of a very shallow DOF. It's a good portrait in it's own right but adding such a shallow DOF really brings an interesting dimension to your shot. Well done.
Yikes, overdid it with the background blur... not sure how you stayed within the basic editing rules... lighting is interesting with the sun as fill and fill flash. The pose.. not sure about.
gorgeous model, beautiful pose...is the soft blur on the background done in camera? i surely hope so since this is a basic editing challenge...it falls off pretty quickly, is why i ask. good luck!
