I think there was some confusion about the shallow DOF here and the background (My fault for not relating this in the title). I didn't do any editing to create the blurred effect - it was all done in the camera. This is actually an image of a peacock through its own feathers (the background and the foreground are all feathers, not leaves or foilage). I can see why it would be confusing and now that I see the scores, etc. I should have submitted another similar image of the same peacock but with a more detailed DOF. Thank you to everyone who voted and commented - it's much appreciated!

Great sharpness on the peacock's head...but the blurred background is a little distracting... it doesn't seem very nice that background.
