Blur the background behind a subject for natural bokeh

№ 88

№ The prompt

Apply a natural shallow-depth-of-field background blur to this photo to separate the subject from the scene. Keep the subject perfectly sharp, including fine hair edges and any glasses, and make the blur smooth and gradual like a fast lens rather than a uniform filter. Do not touch the subject's skin, face, or detail. The result should look like it was shot at a wide aperture, not cut out and blurred behind.
