Challenge: Shallow DOF (Advanced Editing I)

Camera: Olympus D-490Z
Location: Oakland, California, USA
Date: Feb 5, 2004
Aperture: 3.2
ISO: 200

 Essentially straight from the camera; cropped and sharpened, plus some dust spots fixed.

Handheld in macro mode, dual overhead (kitchen) incandescent lights, auto WB, exposure compensation -2.0 eV.

I don't know how "creative" this shot is (I did try some different angles), but it's probably about the most effective example of a shallow DOF I can get from this camera.
