from the pedagogical thread:
There's an art to blurring an entire setting and yet having it be completely recognizable. The strong geometrical shapes of the stairway and railing and boardwalk, combined with the infinitely recognizable shapes of light through leaves, makes this photo perfectly clear in all its fuzziness. But if we take the time to follow the pathway, it leads us into clarity, where we see a railing and a few stairs. Interestingly, the focused part is at a confusing angle, so is actually less "clear" than the unfocused part. I like the struggle here between clear and unclear. |

| Nice. The sharp front with the rest blurry gives a real sense of heading off into the unknown. |

i like the ramblin' feel to this, of meanderin gup that path..the lines keep my eye moving too. what attracts me then is the dappled light in focus on that post..it's the shaows, not the post which anchor this for me.

Hmm. I think this one seems to lack a reason, so I'm curious what your intent was.
That is, it seems more like a "normal" use of DOF, where you keep the subject in focus while the background blurs out, but I'm not getting why I should look at the post in the foreground. That said, I like the leading lines. |

| Get the sense that the path ahead is going have it's ups and downs. And the blur gives a feeling of uncertainty in the future. That's my reading the tea leaves synopsis. |

| I like the crooked leading line. Makes my eye zig zag throughout the entire shot. |
