Great lighting and DOF - really focuses your attention on the action. Nicely done.

Blue Christmas

Cute picture, definite DOF, but I question choosing the second ornament as the focal point. The blurry closer ornament dominates too much of the picture. Shifting slightly lower to put the closer ornament higher in the upper left corner and showing more of the 2nd ornament in focus with the girl in the background would have worked better IMO.

Half Past Nine

Nice colors, definite DOF, but I'm not sure where the focal point should be. The upper tip of the hand might have been a better focal point. If the nine was the focal point, it's not clear that's the subject (unless you get a hint from the title).

Definitely a lot of DOF there, but the subject in focus is almost too small for the picture - it's getting minimized by the background blur. Meets the challenge very well, but not as appealing to me (JMO).

Wonderful shot! This should do well. I would have preferred more of the bottom right/white corner to have been cropped out. Very cool though!
