#11: Shallow

Heatherfeather wrote:

For this challenge lets take our lenses to the edge.... I wanna see fun photos showing off your skills at precise focus with a very shallow depth of field. Eyes are super important, but they don't necessarily need to be the focal point to make this work. A nice bokeh is a plus! All-righty, lets play!

The entry period for this round is only two weeks!

All your entries go here! You can start posting now; this challenge will close on the 25th of August '10. See also the rules and information and the challenge chit-chatter threads.

Nope, pets go in "Other Cool Shots", and are not for the people challenges either

this is one area that i don't think i can get enough practice in. it's tricky to shoot wide (or very close to) open!

f/1.8, 1/400 sec., ISO-400 using 50mm
