I'm not sure that the depth of field is shallow enough.

This is a great macro shot, but shallow DOF? Where?

Great shot with sharp details on all the coins. I like the composition with the coin's edges providing great use of line. The problem, however, is that this photo does not meet the challenge (IMHO) of shallow depth of field. Everything here is in sharp focus. Had you shot this from a slightly different angle using a smaller f/stop such that only a small part of the frame (perhaps the ridge on the California coin) was sharply focused and the rest blurred- it would have gotten a higher score from me.

I don't see much DOF effect in this picture. I do like the image otherwise - it's well shot and image is crisp.

It seems to me that everything in this image is in decent focus, though not quite perfect for the California, I guess. It's an interesting setup... I'm just trying to understand how it fits in with the challenge. :-)

Love the subject and circular lines, but can't see much dof.

A good macro shot, but this is not shallow DOF.

IMO too much of this photo is in focus. Without the title I wouldn't know where to look.

nice pic, does not feel that is has a narrow field of depth (yes the field of depth IS very narrow, but id doesent FEEL that way). Nothing pops up as the center of interest boosted by being in the DOF. 5

Great macro, too much DOF though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I don't see any shallow depth of field, all coins are in focus.

Nice macro, but does it use DOF?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/21/2005 01:35:03 PM
Pencils, books, and money seem to be a DOF theme...

Great macro!

A very nice macro, but I think you may have gotten "shallow" DOF confused with "deep" DOF :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/21/2005 09:08:41 AM
I like the tone. DOF could have been tighter (?) ie front and back less focused...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

No shallow DOF - 3
  Photographer found comment helpful.

DOF?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/20/2005 08:28:37 PM
A really nice macro but hardly see any effects of a shallow DOF. e.g bokeh or some portion which is much out of focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/20/2005 08:25:22 PM
Very nice set up, but I don't see how DOF was used.
