I like the DOF... Works well... My one issue is the feathers leaving the top of the shot. It would have been nice to have a more consistant background too, but I know we rarely have control over that. The people on the left make a nice background but the (speakers?) black thing on the right distracts a bit. Great shot

Great capture for an event. The audience is a bit distracting, but using depth of field to blur them helps a lot.
