Limited DOF

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

and perhaps limited appeal. Does this appeal to you too? Don't know what it is, be it the colour, limited DOF, composition or whatever but I really like this.

Comments welcome :D

it does have a nice dreamy look to it. i think its a little too limited though. imo it would work better if the foremost petal was in focus. i really like the effect of the background petals.

Mark - I love it, The colours are superb and the slight focus towards the middle just lifts it.

pretty impressive, especially @ ISO1000.

Why such a high ISO. Is it just because you can ??????

It was blowing a gale and I wanted to get a nice fast shutter speed. Some of the apparant OOF in the shot could in fact be slight movement, even at 1/1000s and, oh yeah, because I can :lol:

Beautiful image Mark, the softness of it just makes it gorgeous. Pretty brave of John to lend you a D3. Did you give it back or did you just trade him for your D300 :twisted:

Cheers,
