There you go...

tell me what you think ..
Should I loose the black background on the top of the image or it does not bother ?

what else would you suggest for this picture ?

Might be that the dof is too shallow?

I think it is a good application of shallow DoF. Razorsharp where it should be.

As you say yourself; I'd lose the black on top.
