No faux tilt shift or photoshopping here, just some good ol' selective focusing to add an interesting perspective. Taken last friday when I was down in Santa Monica. Since I sent my 14mm in to get repaired I brought the 24mm, which has been neglected.
I want to shoot more portraits.

Great treatment here, Ed. And that focus is perfect - I wish I had some lenes that could make this type of shot :-D Do you think I can achieve this with a 35mm 1.8D on a Nikon D80 body?
