I was actually hoping for a shallower DOF, with just the center tip "tack-sharp" as it were, and everything else just a blur (through the tears, perhaps). Alas, my little P&S doesn't have quite that much control.

Sorry if I made anyone feel sick, but it's good to know the photo was effective enough to elicit a response of some kind -- thanks everyone!

Nice subject (Just had some work done & had to take a shot of the tools mysefl - but only had my camera phone)! Lighting is just a tad harsh and I wish the silver tool on the right wasn't chopped off. It's possible a different perspective or focusing on one or two tools might improve the impact. BOL
