I like it but wish the part in focus was at the very top of the cork. Can't explain why I wish that. :)

Unique and intriguing shot! I like it! DOF works very well for me here.

Missed the focus...need to expand DOF a lot to try this. Another option is to take the same shot 3 times changing only focus and then layer...but this is outside the rules I suspect.

What an absolutely excellent use of shallow DOF! I really like the way the focus settles on the cork, with it's printed designs, and the rim of the bottle. The sharply angled viewpoint also makes the image striking - reducing a familiar object to a somewhat more unfamiliar shape. Do you have any outtakes with the cork text rotated further into the image? I'm curious as to whether I'd like that better or not than your chosen orientation. I'm not voting this one but this is one of my favourites from this challenge.

I don't get this one at all. Is the B for bottle or blurry? seems like there should be some semblence of focus on the bottle. I'm assuming this was done on purpose, but why? Something tells me this might be the last place picture this week, or my glasses are getting out of date.

I am afraid this doesn't keep my interest. The bottle by itself doesn't make the most interesting topic. Good excersise in using shallow depth of field. 3

Well, technically, you made the *cork* the center and main focus of the image, but. :-> 7,

This smells like a Jacko shot.... obsessed with his new close-up lense!!! LOL :-)

Cool DOF...Works good here. I love the color.

I think i'd rather see the top of the cork in focus as well, but an interesting perspective.

Nice work.....really nice shootin!

Cool shot!

Brilliant use of a very short depth of field. nice colour. nice composition. I'll try to ignore the border

The perspective you have chosen is very interesting. I think a slighty larger dof, so that hte top of the cork was focused, might have been more effective.
