Depth of Field
The range of acceptably sharp distances depends on focus, aperture, focal length, subject distance and viewing conditions.
Prompt
Render only this one edited view as a single full-width scene. No side-by-side comparison or second version. Restrict the clear distance range to MeiHua and her fan. Let Shami at the farther arch and the rear walls fall naturally outside that range while retaining a recognizable silhouette. Keep the same camera and distance relationship; this is a focus-range comparison, not a camera move.

Effect comparison
In the baseline image, both MeiHua holding a fan in the foreground and Shami beneath the arch behind are clearly readable. The depth-of-field version concentrates sharpness on MeiHua in front, softening the other figure and the passage behind together. The relationship between the two figures remains, but sharpness now tells the viewer whom to attend to at this moment.
