I actually took this shot with this challenge in mind, LOL.

Took my dear friend Steve to Nottingham from the airport and this shot was yelling at me over the fence of the farm Steve was staying. I guess most will say it's not 'shallow' enough, but for me, anything that makes a nice smooth bokeh is shallow enough for me.. not expecting miracles with this.

est score 6.1
dream score - 6.8

Really like the way this horse is shown against the background and sky. (Have to agree about the other horse being distracting - maybe if he/she were of a similarly subdued colour.)

This is a great shot but probably not shallow enough to do well in this challenge. I love the dark clouds and the grayish horse.

splendid details on the proud horse in the foreground - and the horse eating in the background is the cherry on top!

Nice composition. I really love this juxtaposition.

I know that the other horse is contributing to the shallow dof effect but the picture itself would be stronger with it cropped out imo.

Love the composition, focus and colors (and wow, what a beautiful horse). I'll be voting up those images that illustrate DOF, and voting higher those which have a sharp focus, and higher still those which have both a foreground and background element to illustrate DOF.
