A nice photo but does not demonstrate 'Deep DOF' in my opinion.

Comment by bob350:
Use of shallow depth of field works well for the image - keeping the grasshopper and first thistle sharp, making a moderate blur for the two further thistles, and really obscuring the background. It gives a sense of three dimensionality and simplifies the composition so we pay attention to the main subject. But I would expect low votes in a challenge asking for deep depth of field.

I would call this a shallow depth of field.

Deep DOF means most of the image is in focus, this is shallow DOF so doesn't fit the theme.
