As you can see below – in the EXIF data – this is photographed at aperture f5.6 and at 42mm, which was enough to make everything in the photo in focus. Which I didn’t like, the car and the buildings in the back should be out of focus in my opinion. So in order to get the background out of focus, I masked out the Men, the bench and the foreground. Added field blur to the back in Photoshop. Now I had the focus like I wanted to, but there were still something missing. I ended up opening the photo up in Analog Efex Pro 2 from Nik, to give it a desaturated look, and adding some fake old lens blur to it. And then I finally got what I wanted.
