I don't know why the background is that colour but it was the lawn in the background. Thanks Baz

The background is bokehed; any subtle hues and colours, once smeared become dominant.
This would have been perfect at f/11 or f/16. Still, it's an excellent portrait.
Convert it to black and white.

Good advice and thanks for the teaching session I am always looking for all the pointers I can find. And thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks Malcolm,
But I will avoid watering the grass as I would sink to my knees as it is mud just under the grass we have been getting inches of rain for day's now.

I was thinking along these lines. Hope you don't mind.
Note how the crop is also more pleasing to the eye, due to the composition being balanced?
