Should have just called it Macro III...OR...Far End of Focal Field.
Top 4 are all just macro shots IMO. All very good shots. But, not what I considered Shallow DOF.

Thanks.

From the first place down, the first one that fits the challenge according to my definition would be.

and then, some ways down is another good example.

Great selection of macro-shots IMO.
What about

?
Of course it could be a miniature sea-gull ;)
Or maybe your definition of macro/non-macro is somewhat subjective!?

Actually, TerryGee's photo fits into my "Far End of Focal Field" category. Again, a BEAUTIFUL shot, just not my interpretation of Shallow DOF. Don't get me wrong, the photo's I voted on the highest all made it to top 6 places. They were all given the benefit of the doubt, due to the quantity of what I called Macro or FEFF photos. Just wanted to see if anyone else had a similar opinion.
