Great DOF in this shot! Is any of the foreground softness from PP?

Hi Dan

These guys are so famous, lovely to see them on TE too. You have a fantastic portrait here. Great clarity despite all the hot steam. I like the space left on the side, showing off the springs as well. He looks nice and toasty in there.

Take care,
Tosca
