| 6 - Interesting. Criticism; just like to see more detail in the part that is in focus, 'somehow', whether the toning, etc not sure. Likely easier to discern out of focus remaining features/face at a larger size, but at this size, perhaps 'allowing a fraction more focus in' may have helped this here, who knows. Perhaps a slightly tighter crop, especially on the right too. Up to 6 from 5, mainly for the extreme and good use of a very shallow depth of field. |

| First off, how did you shoot this? Do yo have a lens baby? or are you using some sort of camera with a bellows? No matter how you shot it, it's beautiful. |

| This is very strange and surreal. I think I get how you did it (is that George Washington or Thomas Jefferson?) Very creative. I can't imagine how most voters will like it (it looks a bit arty for most tastes on this site) but it certainly makes use of shallow DOF (the way I interpret it anyway). I'm not sure if I like it or am just responding to the unusual quality. It certainly has me thinking about it, anyway which is more than I can say for the majority of DPC offerings. To me, it looks like it would make a cool album cover. I'm still not sure I actually like this image but I'm scoring high for meeting the challenge,and for originallity, creativity, and technical soundness. |

| Bizarre image, but certainly meets the challenge! Unfortunately the falloff of sharpness is so rapid that if it wasn't in this challenge, I'd have guessed it was shot through cloudy glass with a slit in it. |

There is such a thing as too little Depth of Field. This is one such case.
Pencils, books, and money seem to be a DOF theme... |

| This is the coolest photo I have ever seen. As I started to scroll down the page it just jumped right off the screen at me. it is so clever. I rate it a 10. |

| Creative use of shallow DOF to really pull our focus in to the detail and "texture" of the original etched design. Composition works too. 9 |

| Seriously quite good, actually it keeps drawing me back to this image, and I don't know why, so it must be good............... |

| If this is unmanipulated then it's truly remarkable. Assuming it's within the rules, wow! |
