Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I'm not sure myself of the markings even after some research. I never noticed until some of you commented that it wasn't based on 12 marks but 10. I assumed this was for flood measurement but not sure about what the standard of measurement is. Don't think its metric.

Nice simple subject. I like the DOF, the sharpness and all the details in the wood. The blue tint works here well.

Great shot. Classic use of dof.
Potomac river theme?

Excellent DOF and the blue cast fits well with the time it was taken. Now I'm curious about what it measures also.

Very good use of DOF and tones in this. What does this measure? At first I thought a flood gauge, but it's not in inches and feet.

This is really nice. The blue tones add to the feel of dusk on the river.

Good focus and DOF.

The bluish tone suggests to me that it is cold out right now. Brrr.

I like the cold blue feel. The big negative space adds emphasis to the suggestion of depth. I like it!

Nice DOF and coloring.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the DOF and the colors. Is it too obvious to suggest trying this in portait r/t landscape?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2009 09:20:11 AM
Colours/Shades are spectacular!

Hey neighbor. I like your photo, it is well executed. The very shallow dof that you achieved by using the wide-open f1.8 kept the 9 in focus well enough to emphasize it.
