 Well, this is a great comeback to DPC, thanks a lot everyone!

This was taken with my 30mm f/1.4, which meant that I had to be very close to the girl ( Insomniac's daughter Jessie), and that resulted in me getting full of glitter on top of me.
But she had fun, and the difficult part was cleaning all that stuff from the garden :)

Thanks for the votes and comments!

I like this. The colours, the motion effect, and of course the shallow DOF are excellent. I give very few 9s.

I like this picture a lot - 9 - hope it will make it on the front page. It has the required Shallow DOF no doubt but above it has dynamics and colour and light heartedness. Great idea
I would have given a 10 if the girl wouldn't wear the red glasses which are a little bit distracting
