Golden Hour at Walnut Woods

A popular spot for photographers in Columbus. Also, I'm a sucker for sun flare.

@mirroroflife challenged me to make use of DoF. I used an f/2.8 aperture to subtly blur the trees in the background.

Beautiful portrait. Only these glasses steal attention a bit.

Lovely portrait. The shallow depth of field is so good for portraits.

Sorry for the late reply, Birthday boy and lost time. Great way to show the DOF

Beautiful shot. The light is gorgeous.
To counter @haskar a bit, I actually like the glasses - I think they do steal attention from the person's face with the bright reflection on them, but that would be perfect if you wanted the glasses to be the subject! Haha.
