These are two images I was considering for this challenge.However, the write up on the challenge suggested to me that a more creative use of shallow DOF was wanted than purely using it to isolate the subject.
Looks like I misread it by the way my submission is heading.

It is a little hard to say exactly what I'm looking at?
Is it a volume adjustment or ?

This is totally different than what I submitted. Figured it was too abstract. |

Yea, it was a slider on one of the mixing consoles in my studio. I figured most wouldn't get it so I put it away. |

I thought about entering this shot :)
LOL
I figured everybody would have really hammered it.

That's a nice shot. I see the DOF too, but I agree, many would miss it. Sad, but life is hard, then you get a new 12 pack of beer and jump in the jacuzzi. :) |

This was one of my ideas, went a totally different way though. I just couldn't get the focus sharp enough on this...

LOL
I saw a shot with the same idea on another challenge site.
You could have called it "Strike 2" :)

here are my shallow dof outtakes:
I'd really appreciate some feedback. My entry is nothing like those and it's tanking :D.. would one of those have been well received?
Thanks

I like this shot.
My guess is a tambourine?
Is that a band adjust screw?
I like the pattern on the wood and the different textures.
The lighting is nice also. A little harsh in one or two spots but nice.

I think your lamp, had you had sharp well lit detail on the switch with some contrast would have hit my personal likes. But I'm strange. ;) |

| I really like tabla-01-tone quite a bit. I would've scored it well. I hate when you have two or three good shots and you just can't decide. I'm always second guessing myself, but there's not much you can do. Never know what folks will be in the mood for at the moment of voting... Nice shots though! |

I'd search for a different light source to light the whatdoyacallit skin (?) of the tamburin. The grid you now see on it is a bit distracting. Was it struck or moved when you too the photo? The far edge looks unnaturally fuzzy (instead of the fine bokeh associated with shallow dof).

Looking into a straw?
I'd give it an 8, like it quite a bit, except for the glare at the end of it.

This was my idea, but ended up not submitting. The DOF I ended up with here, I did in PS trying out the lens blur tool. The original shot at F2.8, just wasnt shallow enough for the effect I wanted.

Hmmmm, that's interesting. The lines on the skin are what attracted me to the photo in the first place. I like the tones of the B&W one better, better contrast, IMO. Just goes to show, that different people are looking at different things. |

The light is everything that's good about this shot for me. The colours between the blues and orange work well together as comp colours and the textured shadows from the light make the image interesting to look at and also mirror the patterns in the edge of the tambourine.
With shallow DoF, you've got all that space that isn't sharply in focus so colour and texture are the things you want to play with - the sharp
edge and pattern works well too - I like this shot a lot.

It's particularly the one line from left to right that makes me feel that way.

That's a great shot and probably would've scored quite well, but I think people would've been a little turned off to it after finding out it wasn't accomplished via the camera but by PS. Personally, I don't care, if the outcome is appealing and interesting, I say "What the hay" but in the spirit of the challenge, might have been a little disappointing. |
