The great grandfather of my son, called Bjossi. Took it at his sons birthday brunch. He was not aware that I was taking this shot (and still doesn't know...).
Was hoping this challenge would come after I bought my 10D (hopefully within a month), limiting DOF on a G3 isn't that great...
Did levels, sharpen and did my first burn (darken his left side a bit, he was sitting next to the window), no crop but some NeatImage.

This is great, I love the expression on his face, as if he is in deep concentration, the ability to capture a moment where expression is realistic is a true test of a photographer imo. I love the rose in the background. Good job
If the photo had something with a soft focus in the foreground to indicate a 'Shallow Depth of Field' I would have given it another point. The title fits well though with the flower indicating the limited depth of field.
