Nope. There's still plenty of unnecessary detail in it!

looks like you used the built in camera flash and it compleatly washed out this shot.

DOF is not very apparent in this image at all. Doesn't work nearly well enough to "isolate" the ornament. Also, the harshness of the flash makes it looks like a family snapshot.

Harsh flash, not very shallow DOF.

Everything in this photo is too sharp for the shallow depth of field challenge - also it is obvious that you used flash - turning off the flash, using existing light and having only the ornament sharp would have been better.

Not shallow enough depth of field, flash is too harsh.

hmmm.... the whole thing is in focus, wich quickly gives you a low score.

Sorry doesnt fit theme

Funny... the light seems a little too harsh, you might try exploring other lighting options (desk lamps, that kind of thing) to keep from flooding the subject so much.

A little too bright overall. The reflection on the bulb I find a bit distracting.
