Very nice as a portrait. I would even like to play around with it in duotone as you have some nice contrasts in her face. However, with no near objects to compare to it is difficult to tell if you have attained shallow dof...

I can not tell where the focus is in this example making it not meet the challenge criteria. It also is not terribly interesting in composition.

IMHO your focus isn't quite where I believe you meant it to be (the 'shroom) rather it seems to be just in front of it. Nice color combinations!

Move the two subjects closer together and focus on the gentlemans hands and this is an awesome shot!!! As is, I'm a little confused (without looking at the title, and the title shouldn't "make" the shot) as to where I'm supposed to look. I keep wanting to go to the elder since that is where the lines lead, but he's OOF...

A little grainy, a little busy in the background, but nice DOF...

Either this is OOF or your shallow DOF is to shallow for your own good for this challenge. I can't really determine where the focus is. Maybe in an 8x10 format this would work but at this resolution...

With no textures in the subject it's really hard to tell where the focus is. Nicely composed and thought out, but maybe not the best subject for THIS challenge!
