Usually I prefer landscapes in full focus but this shot actually works well the other way around, stands out as different in the challenge and gets a 7 from me.
Good DOF! it looks really good with the flowers and grass standing out but still letting the (I'm going to guess) ocean come through without being overwhelming!
i like this scene, the ocean and green and rocks. The shallow dof focuses your attention on the foreground rather than the whole picture and i think this detracts from theme of challenge. 7 nonetheless
Very cool. Is the blur applied in post (I'm guessing yesas it seems a little too uniform to be natural) or part of the original image. Either way, very nice capture and beautifully composed. - 8
