Deep depth of field combined with elements in the foreground, mid-ground, and background creates a sense of depth. Use large DOF this week to create the impact of your photo.

Great suggestion, but I find that shots with a slightly shallower DOF can actually give more of a 3d feeling because your eye never really sees all in perfect focus. Tweak your description a little and we may be shooting this next week!

Is there an echo in here here here here?

Wouldn't it then be Normal Depth of Field instead of Deep Depth of Field?

That was more of a B/W landscape challenge, not deep DOF in general. Entries in a deep DOF challenge wouldn't necessarily have to be a landscape. Take a look at the red ribbon winner in the past deep DOF challenge...

Good idea!

I like shallow DOF, unless it's landscape then it's focus to infinity ;)

the real beauty of shallow DOF

Actually, deeper depth of field is achieved when you focus on the "hyperfocal distance," which changes with aperture and focal length. Google "hyperfocal" for more info.

Though 'hyperfocal' focusing is actually focusing to infinity. It is just not focusing on infinity/ the background.

I think it is.
