*Critique Club*
In response to your request for an in depth critique, due to the lack of photogrpaher's comments, I can only offer my critique based on personal opinion alone, since I do not know what your personal intentions were for this photograph.
I think this is pushing it for the challenge. While it represents bokeh very well with use of DOF, I'm not convinced that it represents SHALLOW DOF, which is usually a very small portion of the photo being in focus.
The focus is very good. Subject is nice and crisp, while the background is out of focus.
I have no personal attachment to the subject, and am just not drawn into the photo and held there. It's lacking some wow factor that would make this something other than a lady flipping the bird.
Lighting apepars good on the hand, but a little odd on the face. I don't know if this is what you intended,but I think I would prefer a bit more light on the face in the background. Maybe a dim side light to make her seem like more of a whole person.
The placement of the objects within the photo is also a bit odd. I like the finger off to the right, with the face off to the left, but the finger overlays the ear at a point where it almost blends in, making the finger look like it has an odd growth coming from the side of it.
Overall, focus and DOF are good, but not my cup of tea.

| Nice DOF. Well executed technically. Comp's okay although a little less on the sides might have helped. Subject doesn't hold my interest or make me look twice. |

| This got a laugh from me, so it's starting out great. :) Good use of DOF and how her face is cut by shadow is also interesting to me. I like it. |

| Hey buddy I know how you feel. I got the same response when I asked the wife if I would get a Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR lens under the tree. |
