Click again, comments as before. For me this is about emotional closeness between very distinct and different personalities. That shines through.

An excellent character study
Good Ollie, I like this one much better. It seems the crowd had not seen it. I have a lot of fast lenses and am very sensitive to what works with shallow dof and what does not. It's a thing of the photographic equipment I work with: your basic film-based gear used to be much faster than the lenses people now get with their DSLR's. A 50mm f/1.8 has been the standard lens for decades with 35mm cameras (f/2.8 for medium format), for professionals it still is. Nowadays, however, an f/3.5 or f/4 zoom is considered a standard lens. I often think people are not critical enough of shallow dof effect. You read it on epz all the time: great dof, love the dof, stunning dof, or the best of all: it's different! (brrr). But what that all means I don't know. Good shallow dof one judges not just in light of what is in focus but at least as much in light of what is not in focus. There you see the quality of the lens and there photography with shallow dof can really get poetic.
Anyhow, thanks. It's a great pic. What did you do to it, by the way? Cheers, Bert

The woman behind the man, great shot.
My wife is the boss too. I think it's universal. John

Hubert (HenriAntoine) is right on wrt his comments on "old lenses" and the limited dof they provided. I assume it's because of the fact that 'kit' lenses are always zoom (and how can we live without that?) and the more popular 'non-kit' lenses are often zoom also.
I also much prefer this shot to the previous upload. You've got the degree of 'out-of-focusness' just right here. He, by contrast, is wonderfully crisp. I think that a lot of the art of photography is connected to the various forms of contrast; sharp vs blurred in this case.
Well done,
Dave D
