Thanks everyone! I'm glad so many of you got the same laugh out of the idea as I did : )

Shallow DOF isn't too popular here, and this camera does it better than most non-dSLR cameras. I thought having the arc of the rind in pretty-good focus would be enough, and I definitely wanted them fuzzing-out as they receeded. I didn't want to crop out more of the foreground because of the spacing on the right. I'm also wary of over-sharpening for both artifacting and size issues, and I couldn't create a mask to selectively sharpen the rind.

The brightness and contrast levels are off. I'd decrease brightness by -10 and increase contrast by +10. I'd also use the burn tool and darken the wood up giving it a little more character. The title fits well to the photo and the tilt of the photo is pleasing and subtle. Good luck in this challenge. <6>

Nice capture, but alot of detail is lost in dark.
