Works the same for me. I'm guessing the 35mm 1.4 was used on the first shot at about 6 feet. DoF to make a reasonable 8x10 at that aperture and distance is only about 9". Resolution for even a 4x5 would only cover less than 2 feet DoF. Which is why Ken says print small.

After sunset, it was too cold to eat outside, so we all ended up in

wide open, and did my thing.

Good examples of shallow DoF images that do and don't work for me. In
the first, I can't help but want the other people to be in focus. I
understand this to be possibly idiosyncratic, but it's how I see.

In the second, I like the isolation it gives from the background.
