Can I do any thing else to blur the body more?

The F/Stop is very thin but the rendered image still shows the body sharply. What else I can do to blur the body more?

    In that case you might have to use a postwork blur in your 2D image editor.

    Lower the F/Stop to 2 or 3; the focal distance to 5 and gradually work this up slowly until you get the effect you want.

    This might explain the reasons better.

    Because of your high F/Stop number you have effectively brought the whole image into focus as the depth of field is going from in front of the camera to infinity and your focus point is behind the actor at 16.68 rather than on the knuckles of the hand or in front of it..

    Then planes in your screenshot show the in-focus area, as Fistales says you need to pull those in a lot to exclude the body.

    I'm struggling with it but I think I understand more after trying what Fishtales suggested. Thank you Fishtales and Richard.
