The shallow depth of field worked out in this shot, but the part of the image that is in focus is insignificant in terms of the entire subject. The lighting is also a bit inappropriated to create a visually appealing image.

I like the perspective of this shot... It makes me think the dog is stalking something in the snow... The dog is in a bit of an uncomfortable position in the frame for me though. Maybe higher or lower would work better. This shot also feels like it should be horizontal rather than vertical. The shallow depth of field didn't seem to work out very well here either... just the opposite has occurred... everything seems to be in field...

This is a nice 'product' style photo. The lighting is excellent. The red contrasts nicely with your white background and surface. I think this photo would also do well with a slightly lower camera angle and maybe a slight rotation of the car to create some more diagonal punch in the frame. As for shallow depth of field, I don't see any.

It's easy if you look at the photograph... look at the photograph... look at the photograph :) It's not hard to do :)

Yup.. the photographer could have done this, but not in this photograph :)

Greetings from the critique club :)

Hi dtouch1...

I think you did a good job with the painting with light here... For me, the shallow depth of field doesn't really work well in this photo. I don't see any particular need for it and it doesn't really isolate any specific point of interest in the image. The balance could also be a bit better with a little light on the left side of the truck so it doesn't seem void in that area....
