While this photo does display a shallow DOF, the image quality, IMO, needs some work. There is a lot of noise present in the image and for me, that noise is making it look like the berries are out of focus.

This is way to cute!!!!!! I rated this photo very high! I think it could have been improved slightly if you had chosen a portrait layout ... I think it might have added something to the composition. JMO.

Another broken button

Cool idea. I would have liked a little more focus on the eyes. For me, the eyes sort of come out creepy looking rather than the frustration of another lost button. JMO

A very nice shot of this girl. Nicely composed although the loss of the tail tip is a bit disappointing. IMHO, I think this shot is more about blurred background rather than a creative use of Shallow DOF. JMO

I wish it were the eyes in focus instead of the nose. JMO.

Trapped in a String of Lies

Very well done!!! A very good use of shallow DOF (as opposed to blurred background like many of the other shots.) One of the more creative shots I've come across so far.

This is a wonderful image and something I would be proud of to have in my portfolio. The colours are great and the composition is beautiful in it's simplicity. This image, IMHO, is more about the background blur than it is about Shallow DOF. JMO.

Cotton flowers on nylon strings

This is very well done. Nice texture. I like the obscured view hinting to the fact that there are more flowers to see if we want. Good work.

A very interesting shot. I like the idea very much and the burnt matchstick is great against the orange. Personally, I find the blurry matchstick almost directly behind the focused one to be a bit distracting. Also, it feels like this might be just a touch to sharpened ... The white outline along the right side of the focused matchstick is a bit strong for my liking. JMO.
