Nice pic, but I think in a case like this, the dof should be changed so the the whole wall is in focus. so we can see the whole "pattern"

Comment by alien2thisworld:
I like this shallow depth of field. I like the diagonal lines as well. This shot could maybe use something to provide a focal point though for a little added interest.

Comment by melismatica:
For me, this needs to be entirely in focus to make a graphic impact. The blurred areas don't make enough of a statement yet they occupy the majority of the frame. On the plus side, you effectively isolated a single area of pattern, which to my mind is how to make a good photographic statement about pattern.

this would have been good in the DOF2 challenge, but a very nice shot with some interesting patterns. intriguing.

Would have worked for DOF as well.

6 - Good perspective and use of DOF, especially to fit the Challenge well. Criticism; difficult, needs 'something' to 'raise' it in my opinion, no idea what nor how, perhaps adjusting the tone/color, not sure. Maybe more height for added 'pattern effect', but not sure on that either.

Cool. Could have been a good DOF entry also. Good luck.

6 - Nice, especially the colors. Criticism; like to see 'a' focal point sharper/crisper, be it the stalk (that looks like parsley), or the apple(?), but just something there defined a little better, likely make this even better in my opinion. Maybe a little more height too, not sure as I do like the horizontal composition. Very good 'DOF''s.
