Thats really cool, I've never seen this before, love the simplicity, should've scored higher, but not "dpc friendly", really nicely done.

the dof may be very shallow here, but the lack of foreground or background makes it difficult to judge, and therefore means that the use of shallow dof doesn't seem to add anything to the image. like the lighting. 4.

Interesting, however I don't think the focus is sharp enough on the centre object. Also, the light on the left is a bit distracting and it gives a bright spot on your subject.

??? I suppose the DOF is shallow, but I don't get much out of this shot. Sorry.

How is this a shallow depth of field?

Very minimalist and rather cool, but I can't see any shallow DOF in this one?
