This is such those captures that share most simplicity with viewers. it is realy hard to reach Simplicity in art.
i beleive that just high talented artists can reach to this valuable goal!
Simplicity in form & simplicity in expression. it helps that can find better and easier feeling against the crop.
This is such a splendid rare moment you have captured as a nice portrait. i think words can't describe this deep emotive shot and this real smile. i like to look at it for several minutes. it is peaceful, calm & lovely.
Technically: Minimal DOF ( in open f-stop used ) enhance the visual quality of the picture.
natural background is helpful for the feeling.
composition is carefully by the classic rules ( looking side, headroom &...)
direct looking to the camera enhanced it's intimate feel. the curve of blossoms is a very good element for making rhythm in thie composition.
the white blossoms are like her innocence. congratulation BHASKAR!

Hi Larry,
Try this link for a simulation of how f-stops change DOF (Depth of Field). And, like Bhaskar mentioned the distances between the camera and the subject (the closer it is the shallower DOF) and the subject and the background (the farther it is the shallower the DOF) also matter. Hope this gives you some idea.

Beautiful portrait and subject - love the lightina and shallow DOF for dreamy background.
I see skill and enthusiasm here. Cheers, Lee

Larry I think what is most important while taking pictures is the third eye to see differently and compose the picture. You have the third eye the proof is your collection of pictures diplayed in your porfolio. It is just a question of time you will understand the technical aspects of F4 or 1/125 etc. but you have the most difficult aspect born within you "the third eye". You should feel proud. I will do justice by checking all your pictures soon. Happy clicking.

Very well explained Bhaskar. :) Thanks for the time. It's just that Im new to this world of photography. And i havent even studied any about it. So all that stuff you mentioned, the focal length, the numbers, the F4 etc... im not really familiar with these... but i understand what you mean. It's just that i don't have the right camera yet to study with. :)
Anyway, thanks again Bhaskar! Appreciate it so much!
rgrds, Larry

Thanks Larry for your comments. To your question " how to make background blur like this". I used a long focal length ie. I used 80-200 lens and clicked the picture at 200 mm. Secon reason the aperture should be shallow around F4.0 to F5.6. Ofcourse the background should be little away in this case it was about 20 feet away. Hope I have answered your question. with a normal lens this is not possible. Have a great time clicking. A V Bhaskar-India

This is a wonderful portrait Bhaskar. I wonder how do u make the background blur while the subject sharp? Does it has something to do with the lens? Im using a simple camera and i havent tried this one yet. :)

For some reason, the portrait of this young woman just leapt off the page for me. The combination of the traditional dress plus her engaging smile work together beautifully. I like the way you used DOF to isolate the subject. Her direct gaze is just captivating.
There is something both exotic and serene about this model. Lovely!
