Liquid Copper

I think the DOF is too shallow in this instance - it makes the object look as if it's just up against a brown backdrop instead of a background that's out of focus. However, I do like the composition and the crispness of the "liquid copper".

DOF is not very apparent in this picture. The high contrast between the background and the flower makes it look almost artificial. I think if a shadow would've been cast on the background as well or there was something to show that the background wasn't just a void of blackness, it would've helped it a bit.

Although this perfectly meets the challenge - great DOF, nice, crisp colors - the focal point is a bit bland.

Nicely composed, however I think slightly more vivid colors would've helped. Also, the DOF doesn't give enough oomph to the image.

Choosing objects of color different from the main objects was a good choice here as it makes them stand out more in addition to the effect of the DOF. I like the composition as well as the lighting. For some odd reason, however, something is slightly off about the picture. I'm gonna give it a 7 until I figure out what it is...

Flash is a little harsh in this picture. Also, I think the focus should've been moved back to the ornament, which is more interesting than the tree tip. So, I think the depth of field is right, I just feel that it's on the wrong subject.

I think a slightly more shallow DOF would've made this picture perfect. I like the composition, lighting, and crispness.

I would've liked to see the girls into focus. However, I do like the idea - the composition and the colors.

A slightly small image, but I love the composition, DOF, and colors.

There's no apparent DOF in this picture. It also reminds me of just a snapshot.
