Neil, I fully agree with Robert and I'm sure you'll treasure that
picture in years to come. 

What I especially liked about it was your subtle use of limited DoF to
achieve what, to me, is just the right balance of sharpness between the
subject and the background to give a feeling of depth without giving
the viewer eye strain (am I the only one who's tired of seeing the
indiscriminate use of OOF?).

Regards,
