Give you a "10" ahead of time. Beautiful pic. Great capture of the expression on his face. Wow. Don't you hate it when the best pictures come when it's not a challenge topic.
Not mine unfortunately...just thought it was funny.

I've noticed that its much easier to get a shorter DOF with my camera if the subject is moving. I did sports photography all summer, should have had that challenge then ;)

But you're not really changing the DOF by shooting a moving subject. DOF is controlled by the focal length, lens aperture and sensor size. What you've done is induce intentional motion blur by following your primary subject with the camera while the shutter is open. But the end result is similar (elements of the photo which aren't the subject are out of focus).
I used this "panning" technique to give a better feel of "motion" to this shot:

yeah, I know I didn't really change the DOF. But this is the closest I can get with my camera to making it appear like I did ;)
