 My other option was a full moon, but thought it wasn't creative enough. Besides, there are great shots of the moon in the site already ;) Lets see what people think of this, may not a very high score.

As simple as it looks, I learned a lot from this shot: I was trying to play with the light and shadows but only had available two desk lamps with light saving bulbs, so it was very very difficult.

Hello from another team member. I really like your composition in this shot. I am also a huge fan of a shallow dof, so this totally appeals to me! I really like it. I think it's very creative, and a different take on centered composition. Great job. :)

hi ivan ... its interesting for me that when i know who has done a photograph it gives it more meaning and i'll take another look when otherwise i may not have ... this certainly improves with viewing .. and i love the way you've drawn the attention to the centre with focus ...

Hey Hey From Team 400D!

This is a nice shot. Lovely use of shallow DOF. You can tell that you really used this technique superbly. Way to go on shooting uniquely!
Peace

6 I´ve seen something like this printed and it was really looking like a three dimensional object. Unfortunately, your photo doesn´t reach the same effect.
