 Taken on an old airfield tower from WWII, in Windover, Nevada, during a photo shoot with nald - thanks Steve and Jenny for this great day!

The "Shallow DoF Effect" should probably be stronger for this challenge, on the other hand like it is the model is still recognizable.

Is the subject the photog? The model? There's plenty of detail here for the eye to look at and I find mine wandering all over. Interesting shot nonetheless, I'm just not sure what you were trying to convey. :)

Nice shot although would have liked to see a more slightly out of focus background.

a cool idea - like the vantage point and the placement of the photog on camera, but i wonder if it would have worked better if the model was in focus and the photog out of focus

Cool to peak behind the scenes at a shoot. Light is a bit harsh in some areas and it's not as shallow as it could have been, but overall, very good.

Don't see the shallow DOF here. Nice composition, though.

Hey, I think I know that guy! :D

Very nice shot Bjorn, I really like the composition and post processing. I hope it does well for you in the challenge. I can't wait to shoot with you again, next time hopefully in Munich!

Best regards,
Steve
