D800 handheld hype nonesense - model shot handheld with 200/f2 at 1/30

Matt,

A little bit off-topic, but:

I had a good look at some of your shots and really enjoy your style of photography. I noticed that on many of them you state that the images are jpg, SOOC. However if I look at the OOF areas it appears that a shallow DOF alone does not explain certain areas being OOF.

So here's my question: Do you use some kind of filter to achieve this OOF effect, or how do you achieve it? I hope you don't mind sharing your techniques !

I have played around using clear glass filters with some Vaseline rubbed onto it to achieve similar effects but I somehow doubt that that is what you are doing ?
