Comment by MrAnalogy:
I'd like to say thanks to everyone who voted and/or left comments on this -- my first submission here! I had a great time making the photo and drove myself nuts watching the vote tally over the last week.

For the benefit of the few who wondered about the shallow DOF given the aperture range allowed, I was using a Nikkor 60mm Macro lens and was close enough to the entire setup that the area of focus would be pretty shallow. I did take a couple of shots stopped down as far as F10 but they just didn't have the same 'feel' as the one with the shallower DOF @ F6.3.

Thanks again,
Gary

I would have loved to have lowered this from a 7 to a 6, but the duck and the water bottle grouping is just too well done.

Cute concept. I just wish the duck had been in the zone of sharpest focus instead of the bottle. Good Work.

Good picture. How did you get such a shallow depth of field for such a small aperature?
