One of the more interesting interpretations of independence. The ring more in the foreground is so out-of-focus that it is distracting. DOF with these macro shots are always a challenge.
I gave this a 7. I like the black and white nature and the extreme shallow DOF. Just because I'm fortunate enough not to have been through this I can still understand how aspects of the psychological rollercoaster of relationship breakdown can feel like regaining an independence of sorts. I think it's a brave and personal picture and a very valid interpretation.
b&w and composition work well for this. the focus is a little shallower than i would have chosen, but not off-putting. the out-of-focus ring is a little distracting though, where it sticks up so much, and is in the foreground but still out of focus.
DOF too shallow for my taste, I would have liked to see the whole sentence "Petition for divorce" and the rings in focus but other than that, pretty good. I especially like the tones in the image.
