If you wanted the background in sharper focus you could have used a smaller aperture (e.g. f/16 or so) but in my opinion, having a crisp background would have done nothing but pull attention away from your subject and generally speaking you don't want anything competing with your subject for attention. To that end, the soft, out-of-focus background you have in that shot is generally considered quite desirable. If I was going to critique this shot, the only nit-pick I would be able to dredge up would be I'd like to see a tiny bit more room at the sides, meaning the left and right edges, and especially at the top. That's a *total* nit I'm picking at though; you have an excellent shot there......</blockquote>
