Lodd: Ehm. Doesn't every photo has a DOF?
I guess you meant short DOF tho? ( 5 years and 2952 days ago )

k5683: yes yes

( 5 years and 2952 days ago )

jawshoewhah: I don't think so. Every photo having DOF, that is. ( 5 years and 2952 days ago )

friiskiwi: DOF = Depth of field, and I think in this case we are after s shallow DOF, not a deep one, but a gradual one. usually we try to have the background totally soft or totally sharp, in this case we want it to gradually get soft.
Hope I got it right. ( 5 years and 2951 days ago )

jawshoewhah: Are all the mods A.W.O.L. or is it just me? ( 5 years and 2951 days ago )

kyricom: There are some pretty shots here, but an AWFUL LOT of them do NOT "let the sharpness gradually decrease on each side of the main subject." ( 5 years and 2950 days ago )

friiskiwi: I so agree ( 5 years and 2950 days ago )

Contest Moderator: For the purposes of this contest I agree that a shallower DOF is the more desirable outcome for the image...I apologize for the lateness of my reply. If you feel an image is off topic, please use the red-flag to assist in the quicker determination of the shot being on-theme....thank you all for you patience... ( 5 years and 2949 days ago )
