Ok "FIRE!!" is what I would consider and excellent example of Depth of Field. I think voters in this challenge were just looking for something dramatic, like some one jump off a bloody bridge. I think the photo you have taken is excellent. Personally I like the image and what it states. I think you did an excellent job with the focus and allowing the background to fade away but still leave the bright colored background. Personally I don't see anything I would change at all. Maybe if we had a history or revolution challenge, it would have faired better.
This is very nice, Ray. It's so clear and well taken. It also suits the challenge very well without being violent or sickening. I really like how the canon has that understated gleam. The blurred background really makes the canon stand out. Great Job!
I of course don't know (I'm no photoshop expert!) But... it looks like the sharpening went perfectly except on the left of the rim. I would have undone this with the history brush.
If that's not what happened, well then I just don't like the white halo around that part... :0)
7- because other than that it's lovely.
Without the title to clue me in it would have taken me awhile to figure out what this is. If you had stuck a candle wick or something in as the fuse and photographed this head-on with the DoF centered on the fuse this would have been a much stronger entry in this challenge.
