you have the right idea, but the execution would have been stronger if the focus had been on the whole foot and if the bottom of the toes hadn't been cropped out.

Just back for a few comments...
The title helps to add some emotion to this photo, otherwise one might wonder why a picture of a person sleeping. There are 2 things I find a bit unnatural about this shot. My thoughts are "why did they decide to focus THERE?", and "warm flannel pajamas and no BLANKET?" I suppose the focus was to make sure that there was a part of the picture out of focus both in front of and behind the focal point. Perhaps something more interesting there then? Just some thoughts to ponder. Good luck to you!

IMO you have executed the dof properly but perhaps a different focal point might work better.

nice touch here and the simplicity appeals to me. the dof works.

great idea, im not too fond of the colors everything looks very dull and makes it a boring shot for me

Did you intend for the middle of the shin to be your focus? Great concept...I just don't understand why the focus is where it is.
