Candied Water Drops

Comment by labuds:
Should have focused on one larger drop and made sure the image was sharp in it.

Comment by Ivar:
Since both fore and background are white, there is really no sense of a shallow DOF.

I like this photo a lot, but I can't really see how it fits this challenge.

Comment by Imagineer:
You've very nearly got it all in focus here! Cute little car, but neither is the shot incredibly on-brief, or engaging - although you have some nice detail.

Personally I think this shot would be improved with longer DOF since the shallowness does nothing to draw your eye to anything in particular and actually serves to frustratingly blur parts that you want to see.

NIce crisp shot with outstanding color, but shallow dof not much in play.

Comment by Dave Gordon:
A brilliant shot of the car, especially with the hood up and door open. But the overall focus is too sharp for the challenge, which wants some parts of the photo to be out of focus (shallow DOF).

Comment by TooCool:
Shallow DOF needs to have some reference points to compare to and this doesn't seem have any. The entire car seems to be (mostly) in focus. Some out of focus background or foreground elements would make this shot By itself the car doesn't seem to meet tha challenge. Not to say it isn't a nice shot of a model car...

Great shot, but doesn't represent a Shallow DOF without another object in front or back.
