 Shot on a recent business trip to the USA. These two guys and I were pitching for business, which we won! This was a fairly testing conversation between my colleagues. Can you guess which one didn't understand the point being made, and the one who was irritated by the lack of understanding?

WHAT A SHAME I ENTERED THIS IN THE WRONG CHALLENGE - NOT DOF! SHOULD HAVE BEEN TABLE SHOT

great shot, very filmography feel to it. Not really convinced about it having a particularly shallow DOF but a great shot anyway

Good composition however I think a little less DOF would create more tension between the two people and therefore better display your message of an impasse.

I dont see much of a short DOF nor its use to give any impact- this might have been for the table shot challenge.

The frame appears to cut the mans head off, which is unfortunate.

Not really getting a feeling of shallow depth of field here. Its actually fairly deep.
