		| | Paul, I like this one, too.  Here's the rub as I see it, the DOF IS very narrow, with the focused range nearer the back (lower 1/2 seems out of focus to me).  I might have liked this a bit better were the focused part more towards the middle.  I think I might have gone 7 on this...I see the challenge aspect, but it might not be "enough" for general viewer.  Rob the Swash |

		| | Yup I like this too, but it's just too much effort for some people to veer off the well trodden path. DOF is a bit too tight but the concept carries it nicely. |

		| | Wow this deserved better... or maybe I'm just "artsy", but I really enjoyed this one! I gave it a 7. |

		| | The depth of field needs to be brought more to the foreground for this photo to be more powerful, good idea though. |

		| | Hmm... interesting dof, but I think it's just a little too narrow. Good message though. |

		| | Very good shot but you would focus on a near glass |

		| | im sorry, i feel this is a bad shot, What are you trying to draw attention to? What is at rest? "The Camera"? With 3/4 of the shot out of focus I was about to skip and  click onto the next photo. I thought you may like feedback thats all - dont get upset, it's the only way to get better |

		| | Really nice focusing to get the depth of field you got. You can almost feel the pebbles on the floor. Beautiful reflections in the glass pieces. |

		| | good take on the challenge, I am not a big fan of the blurred foreground but an overall nice job |

		| | An interesting interpretation.  The bits of glass have a story to tell, and I can imagine something having come to rest, however violently, from looking at the glass shards.  I like the cool blue hue of the image, but I do find the half screen of blurredness to be very distracting.  I cannot tell if that was purposeful (my guess is not), but I would find the image more interesting if it were entirely in focus, or if the blurring was kept to the outer edges as a thin border.  I rated this lower than I might have due to the blurring. |

		| | this narrow depth of field makes the picture more interesting. the big piece of ice at the left is distracting.

		| | Inovative idea.  Was the out of focus forground intentional?  It annoyed me at first but now I like it because it caught my attention and made me wonder.  Makes me a little dizzy.  Probably how the people in the accident felt. |
