That's a pretty good idea. My opinion about the DOF is because of the fine nature of the camoflauged objects, the entire composition in this 'aerial' should be sharp. However, I could easily see such a depth of field if the photo had a more dramatic perspective. Also love the composition of the actual objects themselves.
I like the set-up although the top middle staple set is a bit dark and lost into the background. I would have liked a bit more DOF too. Overall great shot and great twist on the camo.
Hahaha, had to look at this for a second to figure out what you were doing here. Very clever, unique and well doen. I like the set up, the shapes, the overall composition. Only two things bother me, the way they are lined up aka, the angle, for some reason I think it would be better going lower left to upper right, at least more I don't know, natural for some reason but this works well also. The other thing is the upper middle staples, they lose a lot of definition, I know you are working with as shallow DOF but it seems that at least part of it should still be visible as far a lines and such. But again, great idea, An 8
